Brooklyn Lager

The Beer Stats:
  • Beer Name: Brooklyn Lager
  • Brewery: Brooklyn Brewing Company (New York)
  • Style: Lager
  • ABV: 5.2%
  • IBU: 33
  • Pour Color: Nice yellow golden color that has a slight haze. 




       The head was fluffy at the beginning and became a nice lacing at the top for the rest of the glass. The scent off the top was much more malts then anything else. The hops were only slightly noticeable. The color of this one is a little more amber then most lagers I've had. The caramel malts are there but don't add to much sweetness. An malt explosion on taste. Nice bready and yeasty flavor that gives you the bread in a bottle taste. The hops lend a bittering that makes it very ballenced though. This is a very nice beer.
      So if your like me lagers ain't the first beer you goin for. Usually, just a little to mellow on flavor and really easily forgotten. This is not one of those beers my friend. This one is full of flavor. It's on the malty side so you ain't gonna get that hop head fix. That said though it's not lacking on the floral hop tone either. This is a working mans beer that doesn't leave you feeling unfulfilled like one of those big market lagers!
