Brooklyn East India Pale Ale

Mid-sized, white head, gold body. Citrus, hoppy aroma. Dry citrus, hop flavor with apple and some grape undertones. Good, solid mouth feel.

Bottle at CityRock. Clear amber - white head. High hoppy, citrus, grape, light light malty, light sour-hop, nice - old favorit !!

Not bad, but it just didn’t have the punch I like in an India Pale Ale. While the hoppiness was just the right level, there wasn’t anything else special about the flavor.

Bottle. Clear amber, small off-white head. Nive herbal and floral hopa profile. A bit thin and lacks an interesting malt character, making it unbalanced. Very bitter finish.

A well-made beer, but a bit too hoppy and bitter for my taste. Pours a golden color with little head off the tap. Strong hops flavor. Not an easy one to down after a night of drinking.

Many thanks to 3 Sons and dogs in Wexford tonight for providing the 2 and 3 oz free samples of Brooklyn’s various beers. I’m not sure if 3 ounces of beer is really enough to provide a rating, I like to chug 12 oz bottles. Anyway, here it goes. This Brooklyn East India Pale ale medium orange but not tenebrous. Head is a whitish froth. As far as the flavor goes; not what I expected in IPA. I was thinking this would have more gerontophilia! However, since I don’t care for IPA this is going to be one of the ones I like the most. The Brooklyn lager veinna had as much bite as this. It has a unique flavor that sets it apart from the other IPAs - more well behaved - and I bet this automatically gives it a low rating on this website among IPA lovers. It has a frottage of leathery appeal about it. After a few sips the alky begins to show, now it is revealing its true IPA feathers. This is far from the medicine like negativeness of most IPA. Tho a mild to medium lingering bitter finish, it is not terribly cantankerous. Probably one of the better tasting IPA I’ve had. As good as East End Big Hop.

Pours a light amber color with a white head. Aroma is of light malt and grassy citrus hops. Flavor has very little malt with bitter hop finish.

Clear straw color with good head and great lacing. Grass and spice in the nose. Deliciously hopped, full bodied IPA with aromatic notes of pineapple and flowers; nice fruity sweetness initially, wih a slightly medicinal, dry finish.
