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.

EIPA is delicious. 12 ounce bottle from Glenville beverage. I loved this one. I was sceptical at first. I guess I always am when I try a new beer. dark brown in color, off white head. A little sweet but not too much. The malts are nice. Hops wee wonderful, present, but not overwhelming. I WILL get this one again.

Draught at The Cellar, Blacksburg VA, #390   Dark gold pour with decent head and great lacing. Citrus hop aroma and flavor. Good IPA, but pretty light. Can definitely have a few of these at Hammer Time at the Cellar!

Draught. Pours dark gold, with a thin, creamy white head. Aroma is sweet caramel and citrus, not too bold. Taste is sweet biscuity malt up front, with a bit of caramel sweetness, with a nice citrusy, somewhat piney hop bitterness emerging about halfway in. Hoppiness is rounded, not overly bright - excellent balance. Mouthfeel is crisp carbonation, with a nice dry finish. Great sessionable version of the style.

on tap at a restaurant (Ramsis in Louisville). Poured a kind of strange tangerine orange/yellow color. Besides this, it was a nice refreshing brew true to its style. Its flavor was dominated by floral hops on the front with a light resinous finish. This brew is light bodied, soft, highly drinkable, and lacking of any alcohol flavor.

12oz bottle. Pours deep amber color. Thin white head. aroma Is of big green floral hops. Strong caramel malt. The flavor is of bready, caramel malt. Heavy resin flavor on the back of the palate. Some hints of wood. Its like a hot biscuit with hop honey butter smeared all over it. Medium bodied. Full flavored. Alcohol is noticable, yet not overwelming. An above average IPA (english style).
