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.

Smells hoppy. And soapy? Fruity and hoppy flavor. Aftertaste leaves a floral feel.

Clear orange pour. Decent hop aroma with elements of dry fruit. Wet hops for sure. Has some apple taste upfront with the brush of hops past the swallow. Finish is pretty astringent hops that remains wet. Decent with a less than stellar finish.

bottle: pint glass: pours a dark amber, leaving 2 fingers of dry, off white head. The nose is not giving enough hops/ bitters as expected, instead some more sweet qualities come through. The taste is much of the same... not a epic, battle ready viking, glory brew of hops... instead a well balanced hoppy yet, sweet, maybe citrus feeling beer. Interesting...

12 oz bottle. Amber color with a white foamy long lasting head. Nice lacing. Aroma is light, citrus and caramel malt. Medium body. Nice balance on the palate of juicy caramel malt, grapefruit and hops. Finish is long, dry and bitter. Very good IPA from Brooklyn.

Light orange hue. Light citrus, grass and sweet bread nose. Flavor is citrus hops with malty balance and bitter finish. Crisp and clean IPA, solid all around bitterness and balance.

Orange-amber with a thin white head. Nose full of Brit hops. Flavor is hoppy yet mild. Sweet, subtle. Good, but not great.

Appearance is a lighter orange IPA color with a finger of snow-white head. Hazy and somewhat cloudy. Looks quite good. Smell is floral, aromatic citrus hops. Malt has a bitter aroma. Bittersweet with more warmth. Almost a Belgiany harshness to the scent. Taste is a solid bitter, but floral hop flavor. Bitter on the back of the tongue. Sweeter on the swallow than a typical IPA. Some bitter fruit and spicy orange also comes thorugh. Feels thick and milky. A little chunky. Leaves a bitter film. Spicy on the tongue. Bubbly and fizzy. Overall it’s a bitter, spicy IPA. Like a hoppy farmhouse or Saison to me. A bit much.

This is an English style IPA. This is not an American IPA, so if your looking for a hopped out IPA this is not it.
