Brooklyn Lager

I went up to the West End of London the other day to treat myself to a salt beef sandwich in the Brass Rail bar. They had one of my favourite beers: Brooklyn Lager. This beer is more strong than the continental lagers which I am used to and it has a deep amber colour. It has a nutty, hoppy taste and a floral nose. The taste is distinctive just like an estate bottled wine. It was the perfect complement to a beef sandwich. The decor of the Brass Rail bar is slightly reminiscent of New York and for a few brief moments I felt like I was making a visit, but the sandwich was too small. A great beer from a great city.
