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.

Pours a clear golden yellow, with a thin white head. Aromas of lemon zest and pine sol. Flavor is packed with earthy hops with some subtle caramel malts coming through. Overall not bad but nothing memorable.

zvsn (64) - ISRAEL - JUN 17, 2013
Bottle. Pours slightly hazy, almost clear copper color with a medium size white head, good lacing and head retention. Aroma of lemon, pine, and citrus with some maltiness. The taste follows the nose,mostly dominated by citrus hop flavors, with light caramel notes, medium bitter finish, good balance. Medium body, medium carbonation. Nice beer.

An okay IPA. Orange in color, lightly hazy, with a decent head. Aroma of caramel and pine. Not too much bitterness for an IPA. Tried at Amir’s in NYC in 2013.

BeerKurve (233) - - JUN 15, 2013
Fairly clear orange color with a high level of carbonation. Nose has a Strong Caramel Malt backbone with citrus hops, toffee, yeasts. Flavor is has a balanced profile of citrus hops, caramel, malts and yeasts; Aftertaste is a bittersweet pine hop finish. Body is light, crisp, and pretty easy to drink! A well-rounded English India Pale Ale overall!

Pours a rusty orange. Has a orange and light citrus hop aroma. Flavor is a mix of pine, orange and some hops, but not an over powering bitterness.

elosop (69) - SWEDEN - JUN 7, 2013
Lite av en standard-IPA, även enligt beskrivningen här på RateBeer. Omedelbar humlefyllnad, följt av medellång efterbeska.

bartlebier (523) - Baden-Württemberg, GERMANY - JUN 3, 2013
12oz bottle, BB 30/09/2013, at Maruhn, as part of the "Braufactum Kollektion", i.e. part of the rapidly expanding Oetker-portfolio and coming with a range of auratic import labels, securing them exclusivity on the German niche market of imported crafts. Sells for about €2,90 here. (Sampled on 1st occasion in NYC deli 09/2012 for $1.50)
Decidedly mild IPA, verging towards UK IPA with a lovely bouquet of subtle UK hops, but at 6,9ABV a rather surprising watery palate, washing those subtle aromas down too fast to create great lingering flavour. Could be a bit maltier and/or creamier and as such presents too pricey+underwhelming an entry-level US IPA for the DE import market.
