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.

Draft - Poured a nice looking orange-amber in color with a big white head that stuck around. Some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is hoppy with some citrus/grapefruit. Little malt to back it up. Good palate. Finish is bitter and lingering. I really like this one...

Poured orange white hoppy head. Strong hops and citrus. Not very balanced would like to see more body it feels like its missing something. also bottle says 6.9 not 6.8 obviously not a big deal but maybe could be corrected on the site. Not a very noteworthy beer overall

Bottle from Vanessa. Dark orange body with fast-rising bubbles, into rocky white head. Nicely hoppy head. Lots of hops in the taste. Gets a bit citrusy towards the finish. Enjoyable with some fruits too.

After not having for a long time this seems to have gotten better. Nice hoppy aroma. Flavor is quite hoppy, some pine and citrus blended, nice body and great flavor. Solid. Score from 2.9 to 3.4

Bottle. Clear, coppery gold; loose but longlasting soapsud foam. Amazing hop aroma: spice, tropical fruit, grape, citrus, earth… and biscuits-with-honey malt. Toffeeish malt flavor, lightly toasty. Crisp with citric and herbal hop flavor. Clean bitterish finish, peachy aftertaste. Lightish, spritzy mouthfeel, very cleansing. Excellent beer.

Poured from bottle. Aroma of hop, malt, ocean. Opaque amber, tan head persists. Nice hop mix that dominates without being too sharp. Malts round out flavor, giving creamy feel. Finished nicely. Well done.
