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.

Pours a hazy amber colour with a small off white head that disapated quickly. Aroma if sweet, fruity and citrus hops. Initial taste is hoppy, mild malts, and hints of pine. Finishing astrigent. No head retention.

12 oz. bottle: Pours a clear copper color with a thin off white head that diminishes quickly to the perimeter of my glass. Aroma has a mild hoppiness with hints of a sweety fruitness. Taste has a balance of citrus, malts, and hops with a tangy bitter finish. Well balanced and the hops is not overpowering. Nicely done!

May 2005 - Poured nice copper color with medium sized head which dissipated rather quickly. Smelled fruity and hoppy. The taste...I like this one. For an IPA, the hop presence was very well balanced. Had a tangy edge to it and the alcohol taste was present, but in this case, was nice. Not being a big IPA guy, this is my kind of IPA.

Pours clear orange with no head and little carbonation. Lots of malt in the smell. Definitely an English IPA, very balanced flavor with earthy English hops. Enough hops to satisfy but not blow you away.

Great IPA. I have tried a variety of IPAs and am very critical. This brew does a great job in throwing the hoppy punch in your face. Not too heavy on the English malt and nice balance of pine and lemon notes. nicely carbonated

Orange/yellow color, sweet hoppy aroma. Very well balanced hoppy flavor, not too overpowering, light sweetness. One of the better IPAs I’ve had.
