I've had this a number of times over the years and have always found it perfectly drinkable. American beers are a mixed bunch, but Brooklyn Lager manages to pull off the surprising combination of simultaneously tasting totally average and also being just slightly better than you would expect. It doesn't have a great deal of flavor, but small amounts of hay/grain do come through. Some reviewers have referred to this as bitter. I disagree, dry perhaps, but not bitter. To my mind a dash more hops would be a good improvement. Having said that, its fairly neutral taste makes it an excellent companion to food, although at 5.2% it is on the strong side for a lengthier session. All in all, very pleasant, and a good purchase for lager drinking friends 6.5/10.
