Amber color. Good American Barley Wine, malty without being too sweet, and with a strong hopping, giving also some fruitness.

12 oz bottle from 2004. Pours a thick yellow, clear, but not pale or thin looking. Decent white head, and a mix of sweet honey and almonds with crisp floral hops. Flavor begins slowly of light malt, sweet and a bit thin, but then some sour yeast notes come in and it eventually finishes very crisp and clean. No adjuncts, no skunkiness, just a drinkable, well-made lager. Dosent have the aroma of the Bohemian pilsners, but still has a good hops flavor, though could use some more flavor altogether.

Beautiful amber color. Very nice hoppy aroma, fruity, caramel. Reasonable body structure, featuring a quite strong caramel character supported by a strong (and quite aromatic) bitterness, and some fruitness (apricots).

TAP-Brown ale, with a faint malty aroma. Very nice nuts in the mouth with caramalized malts, slightly acidic, medium bodied.

Light brown ale with a hazy cloud. Nose of malt and cardboard Sweet malt with some nuttyness and a light hops, but again, the beer is oxidized, with the stale cardboard coming out. Body is still nice and would be medium.

A decent IPA but one that does not stand out in a crowded field. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a copper color with a medium sized tan head that lingers a bit. The aroma is sweet and grapefruity with a mild floral hop scent underneath. Light in body. Light sweet grapefruity flavor No significant aftertaste. Not bad, but there are far better out there.

This beer tastes a lot like Samuel Adams Boston Lager to me. But, to me that is not a bad thing.+++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a beautiful red-brown color with a small foamy tan head. There aroma was sweet, malty, with a definite presence of herbal hops. Strong hoppy flavor with some malt and sweetness. Medium length finish. Medium body. Ok.

I have mixed feelings about Brooklyn. They make a couple of wonderful beers and then a bunch of uninspired ones like this one. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a murky brown color with a moderate tan head that lingers. There is a strong floral hop scent. The flavor is strong and sour up front and lingers with maltinesss. There is a malty aftertaste. It smells better than it tastes. An acceptable basic ale but nothing more.

This is a decent American Pre-Pro. Crisp and refreshing with more body and flavor than any current U.S. Marcos, and many imports as well. Refreshingly bitter.

Rich yellow beer supporting a white head as one would expect for a Pilsner. Slight hop bitterness and crisp finish make this a drinkable Pilsner.
