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.

Citrus and tropical fruit nose. Medium hop level with decent citrus and floral undertones. Finish is smooth bitterness. Solid beer but nothing amazing

kramer (3880) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 30, 2013
Bottle. Pours a clear copper body with a one finger fizzy off-white head that slowly faded to a thin film. The nose is certainly in the English style for sure. Lots of floral English hops, but still a good bit of caramel and toasted malt below with a slight perfumy note. The flavor is not really up my alley too much. Lots of english hops with a moderate level of bitterness over a fairly dry brewed tea like malt base. I think that I prefer a little bit of citrusy brightness in my IPAs if they’re going to be this bitter. Light to medium bodied with soft fizzy carbonation. Not a bad beer as far as how it’s made, just a beer that I don’t really care for all that much.

HoppyBudgie (232) - SOLA, NORWAY - MAR 10, 2013
UPDATED: MAR 21, 2013 0,33 l bottle. Red amber colour, clear filtered with medium to small head. Some floral, citrus moderate for an IPA. Medium hoppy taste with some bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice and crisp finish with moderate carb. An ok goto beer but mildly hopped for an IPA

sawbuck (130) - Round Lake, Illinois, USA - MAR 8, 2013
Some hops in aroma...also sweet malt. Orange ambe in color....thin white head. Some floating matter in this bottle....may be a bad or old one. Bitterness hits first followed by some breadiness. Bitterness returns and lasts much too long. I think this a bad bottle....may have to try again.

Melkart (64) - BRAZIL - MAR 6, 2013
It is a strong and full body beer, but it is extremely bitter, what did not pleased me. I fell this bitter taste too much.

danlo (344) - Durham, ENGLAND - MAR 6, 2013
355ml bottle from BeerRitz, Leeds. Clear orange amber colour with a thin foamy white head and aroma of caramel malt plus a citrus note. Taste is initially sweet caramel, with grapefuit and pine, through to a lingering dry bitter finish. Medium bodied, well carbonated. Quite drinkable IPA.

Great IPA, but had bottles that was no good, differs between 3-4 ratings.. Sometimes a little acidic, butt overall a good IPA.
