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.

(12 oz. bottle served in shaker on Nov. 13, 2008) Poured copper with orange tint, low-medium carbonation, nice bubbly white two finger head formed and laced. Aroma of citrus and hops. Hits the mouth with a medium body, hops come in the middle, finish has a nice citrus note and acidity to it.

Pours clear orange with some carbonation bubbles and medium sized tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is typical fruity hops. Very good, with decent alcohol too. Would buy again.

12 oz bottle. Some hop aromas off this copper colored beer. Flavor was decent malt and some citrus and grassy hops. Not too bad.

Bottle. Amber colour with a small off-white head. Strong hoppy aroma with notes of malts. The flavour is sweet caramel malt, hops and bitter finish.

Bottle. Copper coloured, a bit unclear, smaller lacy off-white foamy layer, Solid aromatic hoppy - Amarillo - nose with subtle fruity and toasty undertones. Moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied. Lingering aromatic, spicy hoppy finish, balanced by a solid sweet maltiness. A very fine brew..........

330 mL. Pours a light amber/darkish orange with a small, off-white head that is thin and settles down quickly. Aromas of strawberry, floral hops, citrus. Flavor is doughy with some floral hops, pine resin along with lots of caramel. Creamy mouth feel. Bitter, long aftertaste. Not bad but way below the curve.
