UPDATED: JAN 2, 2021 Nicely balanced pale ale. Subtle biscuit & malt aromas, with a balanced taste and decent body.

UPDATED: FEB 18, 2020 Keg at The Brooklyn Brewery on 05/04/2008. A nice, gently hopped ale, with more floral and biscuity notes.

UPDATED: FEB 14, 2020 Aroma : Light biscuity malt, with even lighter indistinct citrus undertone. Taste : Light sweet caramel malt balance by slightly drying citric hop. All very thin and watery though

UPDATED: MAR 6, 2019 They are calling this an English Pale Ale, though I had a tough time distinguishing between English and American Pale Ale. Maybe somewhere in between? Some of the other English Pale Ales seemed a little more yeasty, or different kind of hops. This was leaning more towards the sweet side, some citrus to it...why I was thinking APA when I sampled. Only grabbed a single to try. Not sure was good enough to buy a 6-pack, but will probably sample again somewhere down the road.

Tap als Brooklyn ale amber. Prettig van smaak en goed kroegbier. Aangename smaakvariaties, maar niet verbluffend.

From Mar 2008 I got this in a trade with yobdoog. Thanks Trevor! This pours a clear amber with a 2 finger head of foam. I have to say, Brooklyn beers all seem to not be lacking in the foam department and most have great retention...as does this one. The smell is nice and sweet from caramel malt and I'm guessing, some fruitiness. The taste is a little lighter than what I expected but there's good notes of caramel malt, bread, a little roastiness, and some bitterish hop flavour that does some balancing. Mouthfeel is light, carbonation is medium, and it finishes slightly bready, slightly bitter, and at the end, a bit watery. Pretty good stuff and would be better if it hadn't lost all its flavour at the end. Still, I'd drink it again, no problem.

BB backlog. Draft in NYC before my sisters wedding. Gotta take what you can get sometimes. Pours an orange golden with average head. Stale hops and honey caramel biscuits are the main tasting notes on this awful beer. Light bodied and forgettable

Looks like a lager but is half way to an ipa. Lightly hopped with a malty hint too. Very drinkable.

Crap. High priced crap at that. Makes Rolling Rock look good in comparison.

Rich amber color; Medium body; Aroma of malt, caramel, & some citrus hops; Flavor of malt/biscuit, caramel, hops, citrus, and some spice; Finish is fairly bitter; Decent.
