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.

Poured into pint glass. Nice, rich, creamy head. Settled down around rim. Color is light and golden, lighter than many IPA’s. Unbelievably floral hoppy smell, just amazing. Fantastic smelling brew.Very balanced in hops and malt, unlike a lot of IPA’s that are overhoppy (not bad or good). Full flavored beer. Rich and flowery hop finish. Sweet, yet balanced. Very tasty brew.

Clear amber, thin head. Super floral aroma with malt, citrus and fruity esters. Nice malty flavor but the hops aren’t as great in flavor as they are in the aroma. Noticeable alcohol. The bitterness is a bit rough. Not bad.

From bottle... poured deep gold with fruity aroma. Flavor is weak citrus ad mighty bitter. Decent, but not among my favorite IPAs.

I’m a fan of hoppie beers that are thick in body and this one does it for me. VeryAmerican style IPA type with your taste of citrus balanced with your hop, copper in color and no bitterness to this one for me.

12oz - Aroma of earthy hops, musty caramel malt and sour fruit. Pours transparent orange with a small head and good lacing. Flavor is pungent sour citrus hops and grassy malts. Palate is tart. Different but more sour and funky than I expect from an IPA. I will try it again for a rerate since it is possible this was past it’s prime.
