NDbeerdrinker (164), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Jun 1, 2008 Bottle Nice reddish gold color with think head on pour. You can smell the hops in this beer with a little bit of citrus. Taste has hoppiness and a hint of pine. Some sweetness to the beer and very drinkable. Decent ABV percentage compared to the other Brooklyn beers, but it is not overpowering. Nice beer. bermod (118), Lappeenranta, Finland May 29, 2008 Updated: Feb 1, 2009Aroma is malty and very piney-hoppy. Strong piney-hoppy aroma is a little citrusy. Dry and bitter finish. Quite straightforward, but personal anyway. HopBackDoc (393), Hatboro, Pennsylvania, USA May 28, 2008 A solid English style IPA. Pours a golden amber color with foamy head. Aroma is piney hops. Flavor is well balanced with some sweet malts that help to smooth the bitter hops producing an ale that is smooth, slightly sweet and has a dry bitter finish that lasts. Nicely done IPA. Crafty07 (391), Florence, Kentucky, USA May 27, 2008 Cloudy dark golden pour with decent white head, this IPA has a pronounced hop presence but it not ridiculously bitter like so many American IPAs.
The commercial description mentions that Brooklyn uses English hops and malts..they must also know how to make it better. Nice beer.
Cybercat (778), Georgia, USA May 26, 2008 Pours a cloudy honey-golden, barely translucent, with a thick, cream-white head - very appetizing. Aroma is strongly hoppy with an evergreen hint. Flavor is very hoppy, rather but not fiercely bitter, with a whisper of fruit or perhaps spice, quite smooth. joekinty (263), rockledge, Florida, USA May 23, 2008 nice hop flavor caramel notes a little on the hopppy side of balnce but a nice beer overall BuckeyeSammy (454), Cleveland, Ohio, USA May 23, 2008 More bitter then I expected. Crisp mouthfeel with lingering bitterness. Citeus undertones. On tap at the brewery. WickerBrew (312), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 23, 2008 I was surprised with this, one of Brooklyn’s stronger offerings to date. Good hop flavor and enough backbone without trying to become somethiing it cant. Only problem was the funky smell. Thats what is pulling it down - its like a wet dog or something. Maybe fresh on tap would solve that, but here in chicago ive got to deal with the funk.
