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.

IPA poured from bottle was a light copper color with a white head. Aroma of citrus hops. Taste is very bitter and hoppy. Malt backing doesn’t quite stand up and makes for a lack of balance. The mouthfeel is also a little thin. Overall, a decent IPA, but not the greatest.

Pours copper with a good sized head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is mostly citrus hops and some malt sweetness. Mouth feel is medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation. Flavor is a good mix of sweet malt and bitter hops with a touch of alcohol. This went very well with BBQ brisket.

Draft. A pretty decent IPA and comparable to all the rest. Not too much bitterness.

Looks pretty nice with a copper body a thick white head. Powerful flowery hop aroma... pine is there most definitely. This is an easy to drink beer that has some bitterness, but not too much. Flowery hops are there right on the top. It is different from your standard IPA as many people have said, and in some ways I might prefer this more subdued style (i.e. not hopmurder).

Pours a golden brown with a half inch frothy head. Aromas of citrus and pine. Crisp, spicy, hop influenced flavor but the alcohol tends to linger. A little sweet and not overly bitter. A good brew, and if you like IPA’s you should def give it a go.

12 oz bottle, pours a clear dark brown color with copious head. Aroma is hoppy but perhaps the smell of alcohol was too overpowering. Taste, like the smell, was again very crisp and refreshing but tasted a little too much like rubbing alcohol. Palate was very agreeable for an IPA. I liked the regular lager better, but overall a good brew.

Bottle from utobeer via cgarvieuk. Aroma is dominated by toffee malts, peppery, citrus and grassy hops balancing. Taste is similar very pluckering mouthfeel, the after taste actually feels like you’ve had too much pepper in your soup. A nice ipa, not totally american or totally english, but a balance of the two.
