100 Beers, 100 Days: Day #16
Once again and at the suggestion of previous commenters, I returned to Brooklyn Brewery for something new. This was one of the few beers at Nashua Garden I haven’t had before and wouldn’t mind trying, so it was a pretty easy choice.
I’m having trouble writing about beer tonight, so I’ll skip straight to the point. The Brooklyn Lager is an amber colored beer with light floral hop aroma, a medium body, minimal bitterness, and just a touch of honey in the aftertaste. It’s a very smooth, creamy beer - more substantial than a Pilsner, but not nearly as malty sweet as something like a bock. Even though I had just one (hey, look at the time I posted this on a work night) I could certainly see how a six pack wouldn’t last long between two people. I much preferred this to the Chocolate Stout I had on day #1.
I’m not sure how widely distributed Brooklyn beers are outside of New England and New York, but it’s probably worth giving them a try.
