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.

Bottle at beerbistro. Clear, bright amber-gold with a nice finger of white foam. Good nose, a bit resiny and fruity, sweet malt with fresh hops, very nice! Body is thin but crisp. The hops kick in a bit heavier than expected in the flavour, with some big grapefruit notes, a sweet middle, and a dry, slightly citric finish. Aside from the light body, this is a very nice IPA.

One of my favorite Brooklyn brews. Golden colour. Very fruity hoppy sweet aroma. Flavour is quite dry, a lot of fruity hoppiness, some lemon, good maltiness and some sweetness. Dry fruity looong lasting aftertaste.

Bottled. Clear, golden and with an off-white head. It has a nice, fruity hop-aroma, with grapefruit, pine and some hints of beef-stock. Hoppy and piny flavor as well, well balanced, and the stock-notes are present here as well. Medium to full body, quite drying, and a hoppy finish with some hints of alcohol. (061124)

Amber, slightly red body with little head to speak of. Smells very hoppy, both bitter and citrus. Hops dominate the flavor, though there’s a fair bit of malt there to support it. On the upper side of medium bodied, with hints of syruppyness... Not sure what to make of this one. Pretty tasty and non-offensive. Actually pretty good, IMO. I’d get this again.

12oz brown bottle. Coppery orange colour, long lasting white head. Big citrus hop aroma - orangey and grapefruity. Sweetish caramel malt flavour with lemon and grapefruit hop background. Bitterness is modest, but there is a long hop aftertaste with some malt. Medium body, very lightly carbonated.
