Brooklyn East India Pale Ale

bottle 12oz. Pours light amber orange with a lacing white head. Nose is noble hops and rich malt. Very citrus

Bottle. Deep copper color, noticeable head. Hoppy, malty aroma. The taste is big on hops and caramel, with a wonderful, bitter finish. A great beer that goes well with sea food.

From LIC, Aarhus Bottled Fine bitterness and some hints of the malt. Well carbonated

Thanks to Ian for the bottle. Pours copper colored with a thick white head. Big malt aroma with noble earthy hops. Malty taste with lots of earthy bitter hops and a clean finish. Solid beer.

Gold amber with a white head. Spicy floral hops with a hint of lemon. Utterly beautiful. Sweet, citric taste with pine and thick honeyed malt lurking unsuspected in the background. Mid bitter finish. A lot going on here, and all of it enjoyable.

Draught at the Magician, New York, New York. A well-balance beer with flavours of hops and citrus. The aroma of pine was a bit odd; almost like cleaning products. Not bad.

A solid IPA. Color is copper with a fairly nice head and a good amount of lace on the glass. The aroma is floral and hoppy with some spice character. Sweet and hoppy tasting, bitter finish and a nice malty balance. Also, when compared to another IPA (Stone IPA) this was maltier and not quite up to that level. Still, this is a nice IPA and I look forward to having it again.

Draught at the Magician, New York City. This isn’t the classic that Goose Island’s IPA is, nor is it as good as Brooklyn Lager, but it does the trick. It’s refreshing with a nice floral hop character and a fruity finish.
