Our Tastes-- Brooklyn Local 2
Same brew different location? Nope apparently, "Second verse same as the first" is not the case? This is a same location brew along the same "Belgian" line. Color is almost night and day. This one is a medium nutmeg brown. Head is a nice flat tight creamery. Local 2 is vastly apart from Local 1 in that it has a great divide on the mouth that starts with the raisiny twine of the palate that gives part to the same nose of heavy dark fruit. The Enabler and I agree there's more acidity and a quickly dissipating hop flavor. Made with NY state raw honey and Belgian dark candi sugar, not to mention orange peel this is a good follow-up. Hops include Perle, Aurora, East Kent Golding with a secondary champagne to yield 9%abv and a life experience while watching American Pickers Alabama!
