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.

Pours light copper with off white head. The aroma is grapefruit and orange rind. Pretty nice. There is a lightly vague-ish sweetness somewhere behind the hops. The taste starts off with some malt sweetness and grapefruit hoppiness that seems to mix into a sweet citrus flavor. Then the citrus grapefruit hop bitterness hits with all its mild might. Very fresh tasting and enjoyable IPA.

Bottle. Nose is citrus hops all around. Clear orange-amber with no head. Very well balanced hop-led taste with a smooth drinkable palate. Nice session IPA.

This is an excellent version of a classic british style pale ale. It has notes typical hops citrus and a nice malt mouthfeel. This transcends into a nice bitterness to finish it off.

Pours a luminescent orange color. Carbonation is very low and kind of a boring thing to look at in the glass. Atypical IPA with much more malt content than hop prominence. I taste licorice and syrup along with a background of english style hopping. Seems like it would be good on tap with the English bitter style. Finish is slightly bitter and lasts.

12 oz. Bottle: pours a amber dark gold with an off-white head, malt sweet, flower and some pine scents, caramel fragrances, sweet, malt and hop citrus flavors, taste of some toasted malt, hop bite with a flavor of grapefruit, faint fruit flavor, not a lot of pine scents or taste like the other IPAs I have had, malt sweetness is balanced pretty well with bitterness, hop bitterness persists into the finish, this brew falls along the lines of a English IPA recipe.

Bottled. Amber color, small head. Aroma consist lime and pine. Flavor is smooth with elegant hoppiness. Long finish with moderate citric hoppiness and some smoke. Very pleasant and good summer IPA.
