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.

12oz bottle. Pours deep amber color. Thin white head. aroma Is of big green floral hops. Strong caramel malt. The flavor is of bready, caramel malt. Heavy resin flavor on the back of the palate. Some hints of wood. Its like a hot biscuit with hop honey butter smeared all over it. Medium bodied. Full flavored. Alcohol is noticable, yet not overwelming. An above average IPA (english style).

Smooth and well balanced. OK but nothing great. Sort of pedestrian. Nothing much that would make me want another.

Fresh and hoppy nose with citrus ... etc etc. You know what? I’ve rated so many of these American IPAs now it’s pretty much a standard thing. It’s a good American IPA, that’s about it.

A little thin and watery for me. Aroma was nice and flavor was good. About an average IPA.
