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. Pours a clear copper color with a huge white head. Rather mild aroma of hops, malts, spice. Flavor is bitter, piney, malt. Palate is light to medium, medium carbonation, bitter finish. Rather uninspiring.

Light in color. Strong grapefruit flavor. Not the best out there, I’ll have to rerate sometime

Bottle. Clear slightly reddish yellow like in colour and a sparkling look. Initial appearance of head was medium. Compared with the Brooklyn Lager the aroma is much more powerful but the same catachrestical can be observed in both versions. Aroma was heavy hop flowery and some spicy, yeast as the predominant notes. The mouth feel is crispy and dry like. Favour was medium bitter. Medium bodied with a bitter hoppy finish.

BOTTLE. Nice, but not strong, aroma. Medium bodied and fuller more complex palate than some other IPAs I have sampled. Hops-dominant enough for me. Crisp and very drikable; I liked it. BUY AGAIN?= oh, yes

Amber in color with a small head. Tasty hops with floral,piney, somewhat citrusy flavors. A very good IPA, not exceptional but worthy.

A nice copper color. Hop nose of sour fruits and pine. The malts are deep and complex with a hoppy kiss at the end. Bigger on the hops than it’s Brit cousins. I liked this one.
