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.

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.
