Brewery : Brooklyn Beer : Brooklyn Lager Style : American Amber / Red Lager / Amber Lager Variance : None

7.5 / 10

Ok, back to basics. If you haven’t tasted this beer yet, there might be something seriously wrong with you. When it comes to stepping stones into the world of craft, I feel like this should be one of the first because it is offered in just about every restaurant and most people have probably tasted it at a party or get together without even realizing it. This is probably Brooklyn’s worst beer which says a lot for the brewery and the caliber it operates at because it is still a great offering. This has a caramel sweetness to start before some mildly bitter floral hop flavor mixes before ending with a mix of malty sweetness and bitterness. I’m going to keep this one short but basically, if you want to get into craft beer but haven’t found a good entry point yet, you just did. This beer is the perfect solution to ween you off of big beer due to it’s familiar flavors while still giving you enough depth to get you hooked so make sure you pick up a sixer and start on your quest. For the pros out there, you’ve probably already had this so basically this review was pointless for you to read but now that you have I can tell you that you just wasted 3 minutes of your life that you’ll never get back…fuckers.
