Brooklyn Blast

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Brooklyn, New York USA

Draft at Tyler’s in Durham, NC. Poured a hazy medium orange color. Head was one finger high and white. Aroma was of flowery hops with notes of toffee/graham cracker. Dry and citrusy on the tongue with moderate hop bitterness of about 5 out of 10. There was a strange mix of flavors including butterscotch, orange, and caramel. A detracting cardboard note also emerged. Plenty of citrus tang lasted well into the finish. Not bad.

pours a hazy shade of golden amber. Thin head with some spotty lacing. Citrusy and grassy aroma. caramel and pine up front with a bitter citric finish.

On tap at the Hop Devil in NYC. Alot of good flavor with a really good aroma. Aroma was citrus and grassy. A nice blend of caramel and pine/citrus/grass in the flavor. Enjoyable beer.

Sampled at SBWF, 2007. Golden with a firm, off-white head. Very grassy, hoppy aroma. Sweet and frutiy flavour with fine hoppy bitterness.

Draft at the Blind Tiger. For aroma, there is a noticable amount of earthy malt, citrus/grapefruit hops, pine hops, and floral hops. The flavor is very much of the floral hops, and is slightly above average for the style.

Interesting hop nose, some citrus notes, there’s something a little different though, can’t place it. Pours blonde with a thick white head. The flavor reminds me of a pale ale or even and english ale mixed with some belgian yeast flavors, hoppy, citrus notes with sweet malts and some spicy belgian characteristics. good.

Slight cascade hop aroma. Taste is sweet like sucrose and a slight amount of hops. Very, very boring.
