Serving Type: BottleABV: 5.2 percent
Appearance: Brooklyn lager pours an amber color with a plethora of reddish hues. There wasn't an abundance of carbonation bubbles in this brew, but there was an inch and a half of ivory colored head. There was average lacing left. The head did end up collapsing in on itself after a sip or two. There wasn't much of that creamy layer I like to have most of the way down the glass.
Smell: This beer smelled like its malt was very grainy and toasty. In general very bready. I was intrigued to pick up a little bit of each caramel and lemon.
Taste: A lot of the aromas I picked up earlier didn't translate as well as I had predicted once I tasted this beer. The graininess and bread I noticed was very dominant on the tongue. The finish was a little hoppy. The citrus and caramel weren't noticeable at all. That was a bit of a letdown for me.
Overall Rating:
This one was a bit of a roller coaster ride. Interesting appearance, very intriguing smell, but the taste wasn't anywhere near what I was lead to believe when I caught a few of this brew's aromas. I wasn't deeply saddened, but I wasn't exactly blown away either.
