Oct 12, 2006 Transparent copper pour has piney, citrusey nose that is lively and effervescent. Palate is sticky to heavy and displays a depth to the brew. Flavor is more of the traditional IPA flavors with a definite resinous character. Nice respresentation of the style if uninspired.

Oct 2, 2006 Pours dark orange with a medium to thin white head. Aroma is citrus, bit of malt, bit of pine. Citrus aroma is decently complex. Taste is a bit fruity, nice hops balance inthe finish. Malt is a underdone in the front, but it has a nice bitterness to it. Bit of a boring IPA, could use more malt flavor, maybe a bit bigger hop taste.

Sep 11, 2006 Bottle: Pours golden in color. Little or no head lasted. Smells piny with maybe a hint of some citrus. Taste is similar, a little watery. Light note of some pine flavor. Not overly hoppy. This one is decent, but nothing to write home about.

Sampled from bottle at River’s Bend on 9/01/2006 -- Thanks Matt! I really enjoy all of Brooklyn’s brews which is why they are one of my favorites. Their brews are always aromatic, tasty, and true to the style. I feel that they are above average and worth trying at least once. For me, Brooklyn beer is what I usually go after when I need a good, somewhat unique, and relatively affordable 6-pack. Other than that, I will have to add more specific comments once I have a chance to really taste this beer again, although I really enjoy this IPA!

July 2008: Brooklyn IPA has a musty floral aroma that turns more bright and citrusy when warmer. The flavor has a good amount of pine hoppiness balanced with an unobtrusive maltiness. This beer is golden-colored with a large, foamy, off-wite head that leaves thick lacing marks on the glass. It’s pretty good overall.
Draught sample at The Brew Keeper brewpub in North Ridgeville, Ohio.
