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.

12 oz. bottle. Clear orange pour with creamy white head. Smells of florals and pine. Citrus and pine flavors in the taste. Slightly astringent. Bitterness throughout. 3 months past the "Best Before" date. Easy drinking, enjoyable beer.

12 oz bottle from Total Wine and More Cherry HIll NJ-Pours a light amber coloring with a bit fruity with a nice hoppy/bitter taste, but leaves a slight odd after taste which I feel it encourages you to drink more. Lots of carbonation. Pretty good for a IPA

Pours a light copper colour with a small white head. Nose is lightly hoppy and piney. Palate is medium and crisp, quite refreshing. Flavour is more of the piney hops and light sugary malt notes. Decent IPA.

Light hoppy flavor. Amber color with white head. Though that the light hop flavor would be followed up with a nice malty base, yet that did not happen. Not much else to be had from this one.

Couldn’t wait to tuck into this one and I’m not disappointed. Clear and sparkling amber pour blanketed with creamy froth. Musty, petally aroma oozing rose, tangerine, and pollen-heavy Turkish Delight perfume. sweaty, encloaking and spliff-like as it warms. Flavour follows through with a wickedly dry quinine blast of hop bitterness and overripe satsuma. Listen closely and you can here the bees humming. Big,floral, fruity, lip-smackingly hopped ale drinking itself straight into my top 50. This is beer. (948417-4.2) UPDATE Honey and marmalade on soggy buttered white toast. Fragrant and tasty, but too sweet for me these days, and sliding out of my top 50....The Dog has got the edge on this one.

Flaske. Flot IPA med klassisk ravfarve. Lækker duft af humle, som går igen i smagen med en god balance til malten. I det hele taget en rigtig fin øl i en klasse som ellers ikke er kendt for den store balance.

It has a weird aroma of flowers and hops. the flavor is also similar it had a weird taste of some flowers or something and some hops. Better than a lot of commercial brews, but not really something that you would drink simply to enjoy the beer itself.
