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.

Clear straw color with good head and great lacing. Grass and spice in the nose. Bitter bite with grass and spicy notes. Great beer.

12oz Bottle at the King’s Hall, Stoke on Trent Beer Festival 19/10/2007 Strong hop aroma. Golden coloured pale and hoppy with lots of alcohol present. Some dryness. Vegetable and malt flavours. Crisp and bitter lasting finish.

Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle. Heavily floral aroma, especially of elderflower. Sharp bitterness that gradually becomes fruity, with grapefruit the most apparent flavour. Can be slightly vineous and quite alcoholic tasting. Wouldn’t class this too much as an English IPA....

Thanks Joe McPhee. Pours a clear amber, modest off white head, essentially no lace. Aroma is hoppy, musty, with a bit of caramel, overall muted. Flavor has a lot of hops-grapefruit bitterness, but less in terms of hops aromatics. Malt backbone is a bit husky. Well-balanced, but with a metallic edge. Thin to medium body, juicy refreshing mouthfeel.

Pours nice hazy color with a thin white head. Smells of bitter hops and earth. The malt background is a little too inconspicuous and the mouthfeel is rather thin. The flavor is nicely bitter with a sweet citrus hint kick in the finish.

Overall Impression: A nice citrus hoped English style IPA, this is a pretty decent example of the style, not spectacular, but certainly drinkable.

12oz bottle pours golden orange to a one inch head with nice lacing that actually disappeared off the glass rather quickly..this is definitely a English style IPA, hops are much less present than your American style hop rockets that I’m used too..aroma’s of light hops, perfume and citrus..taste of the same, not enough hops present for my IPA acquired taste, this could be a nice Pale Ale with a little less alcohol which comes through a little strong or unhidden..Overall I do feel it’s still quite enjoyable, especially if your into more of a English, Belgium style taste. Although it might be more true to the original IPA style, for me it doesn’t quite stack up to the great IPA’s I’ve been tasting in the states...
