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.

A nice copper color. Hop nose of sour fruits and pine. The malts are deep and complex with a hoppy kiss at the end. Bigger on the hops than it’s Brit cousins. I liked this one.

Clear golden pour with a lasting, frothy white head. Beautiful appearance. Piney aroma with a hint of citrus. The hops make another, stronger appearance in the taste. Wow, this is kinda like a Rogue2IPA Lite version or something. Not quite as agressive, but about as hoppy. The alcohol was there, but I think it fit in pretty well. Decent malt backbone. Hopheads will like this for sure. Excellent.

This IPA pours a clear amber color with a decent white head that leaves some lacing around the glass. A sweet citrusy hop scent dominates the aroma with traces of malt coming through. Taste was spicy and hoppy over a balancing malt backbone. A bitter aftertaste and dry finish also complement the flavor. I didn’t realize it till after I drank the bottle but at 7% there was no trace of alcohol in the nose or the taste. It has a good body and goes down smoothly, a pretty damn good IPA.

I’m a fan of this one. Sweet and hoppy. Not heavy on the bitters like a lot of IPA’s tend to be. I guess it all comes down to the fact that the beer favors malts. I do wonder in spite of the milder hops how it would travel to india.. but that can be pondered at a later time. I’m too busy enjoying my beer.

Bottle. Dark golden, slightly reddish with an off-white head. Aromas of litchi fruit, a touch of lime, flowers and fresh hay. Malty notes of grain as well. On the palate there is some sweetness from the caramel malts and then a massive hop presence. Fine bittering snap to finish off.

Pours a cloudy honey-golden, barely translucent, with a thick, cream-white head - very appetizing. Aroma is strongly hoppy with an evergreen hint. Flavor is very hoppy, rather but not fiercely bitter, with a whisper of fruit or perhaps spice, quite smooth.

Draught at the Mellow Mushroom in Durham, NC. Clear gold, medium white head. Hoppy aroma. Caramel malt flavor quickly overtaken by spicy hops. Medium mouthfeel. Clean finish , slightly bitter and persisiting. Enjoyable.
