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.

I’ll have to say it was a mistake drinking this beer immediately after Dogfish Head 90 Minute Imperial IPA. The pour looked terric and I decided to just take a big gulp but was qutie surprised how sour it tasted. I don’t quite agree with the amount of hops - it seems like it could be a little bit more aromatic and bitter.

Pours a thin darker orange with a creamy off-white head. Wonderful strong hop and English malt aroma with some mango/pineapple. Chewy malts and bitter grapefruit hop flavor. Lots and lots of resin and somewhat juicy. The English malts add some toastiness that sits oddly with the bitter hops, buttery. Medium bodied with fine sparkly carbonation and low stickiness. An interesting malty take on an IPA with what really seems like American hops.

12 oz bottle purchased at EZ Liquors. Pours a orange amber with an average size white head. Aroma did not have enough hop perscence for an IPA. Flavor had more bitterness then flavorful hoppiness. Blah.

35,5 cl bottle. Coppery orange colour, thin wthie head. Nice, fruity aroma (mostly lemon) with floral hops. Flavour is malts and caramel, finishing with a floral, hoppy bitterness. A decent beer, but the flavour is not very complex.

Draft. Pours gold with a white head. Bready sweet malt aroma with a light amount of hops. The flavor has bready and sweet malts, as well as a solid dose of grassy/floral/light herbal hops. Pretty good.
