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 light amber with an off white head. Decent hop aroma, pretty profound, a little bit piney, some grapefruit citrus, but not much. The taste is definitely balanced pretty well, somewhat floral hops, citrus, and a slight bitterness. A little bit of some sweet caramel is definitely noticeable as well. Nice session IPA.

Light copper color, strong carbonation, but lacks the normal IPA attributes. Tends to be balanced- no strong hop bitterness or citrus taste. All in all, pretty good beer, but i wouldn’t have thought it was an IPA if i was drinking it (would be suprised if it was a pale ale). For a beginner to IPA’s, not a bad starter. For those of you looking for traditional solid IPA, look elsewhere

clear copper color with a white rocky head...sour aroma with some fruit....head disapated quickly with some lacing...fruity tasting with less bitter than I expected...more bitter in the finish...I like most of Brooklyns beers, but this is not an exeptional IPA..too sweet for me

From a 12 fl oz (US) bottle with an expiration date of Oct. ’07. Poured darker than I expected with a kind of bronze-copper tone. Very little head/lacing. Not an overpowering aroma but the flavor is extremely hoppy. Sort of felt creamy in my mouth. Give it a gold star!

Pours a slightly hazy gold with a egg-white head with nice lacing. Sweet & hoppy aroma - Goldings? Metallic taste - peppery hops & slight alcohol. Light honey sweetness in the malting with a lingering dry hoppy aftertaste. Very pleasant! Good carbonation, light in body but coats the throat well. Very good IPA.

Bottle. Nice head with ok duration. Color is amber. Aroma is mainly hops. Taste is malt and hops - lots of hops.

Bottle pours a golden copper. head quickly dissapears. The aroma is of bitter hops and some malty fruit sweetness. The flavor is actually quite malty and rich. The bitterness does not hit you until the finish. There is a warm alcohol bite there at the end. Meh. Not very impressive.
