Commercial Description:
Brooklyn East India Pale Ale, originally a summer seasonal, has been getting raves since becoming a year round offering in 1996. Garrett Oliver, a student of English brewing and beer history, uses English malts and hops to brew his EIPA in the classic, heavily-hopped style of the 19th century beers created for British soldiers serving in India.

Bottle, best by Nov 2009. Poured a copper orange with an off-white head. Perfume aromas with citrus rind and malt backing. The flavor had caramel, pine, and grapefruit. Medium body and medium bitterness throughout.

Smells hoppy. And soapy? Fruity and hoppy flavor. Aftertaste leaves a floral feel.

Clear orange pour. Decent hop aroma with elements of dry fruit. Wet hops for sure. Has some apple taste upfront with the brush of hops past the swallow. Finish is pretty astringent hops that remains wet. Decent with a less than stellar finish.

bottle: pint glass: pours a dark amber, leaving 2 fingers of dry, off white head. The nose is not giving enough hops/ bitters as expected, instead some more sweet qualities come through. The taste is much of the same... not a epic, battle ready viking, glory brew of hops... instead a well balanced hoppy yet, sweet, maybe citrus feeling beer. Interesting...

12 oz bottle. Amber color with a white foamy long lasting head. Nice lacing. Aroma is light, citrus and caramel malt. Medium body. Nice balance on the palate of juicy caramel malt, grapefruit and hops. Finish is long, dry and bitter. Very good IPA from Brooklyn.
