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.

Pretty damn good beer. Drank it right after the pennant ale so the hop flavors hit me like a brick wall. Abundant hops, yet kinda sweet.

35.5 cL bottle. Pours clear amber with little head. Aroma is a nice soft blend of aroma hops and caramel malts. Flavour is wellbalanced hops and malts, the hops don’t really take over in the flavour like in most IPAs, but is softly gliding into the malt notes. Ends in a dry and yet soft bitterness

Far stronger than I expected, this is a richer, in some ways maltier offering than many standard session IPAs. Fairly typical citrus aroma, but a hugely frothing mouthfeel with some yeasty characters distinguishes this one. Very fine everyday IPA.

Poured the typical orange color for and ipa but small head, not great lacing. Aroma was citrus pine and lemon. Flavor was lemon grapefruit and pine. Wasn’t overhopped maybe even under hopped. Just another IPA

Bottle via Lubiere, served at cellar temp in a tulip. AP07/07

App.: Deep amber, so-so off-white head, clear. Aroma: Floral, herbaceous, peppery hops with candy malts behind. Palate: Medium body, gentle carbonation, slight astringency. Flav.: More of the nose, malt up front, hops behind; off-dry with a fairly bitter, peppery finish.

It’s decent IPA.

This one falls somewhere peculiar. Very English, but almost tastes like it’s been made with lager yeast, though I know it hasn’t . A bit salty and tangy, reasonably bitter and reminds me of sam smith’s india ale, actually. Nice, but not my favorite.

Very unique smell and taste. Smells and tastes quite salty (reminded me of the Dogfish Head 60 or 120, but lighter). Looks like any other IPA. It’s not something you’d want to drink all the time, but it’s quite nice in it’s own right. Shocking at first, but quite nice as you get through the bottle.

Pourss a medium amber color with almost no head. Smells great lots of hops. Taste is good, not much alcohol or warming at all considering the high ABV. I would definetely buy this again, perhaps a 6-pack over the weekend. Great bitterness in the finish.
