Brooklyn East India Pale Ale
From Brooklyn Brewery – 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.
Brooklyn Brewery – Brooklyn East India Pale Ale – 12 oz. can poured into a pint glass 6.8% abv.
Appearance: Pours an amber gold with a very small cap of white.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Faint pineapple, toffe like malt.
Taste: Fruity beginning. Crushed pineapple, sweet malt, euro spicy hops but a backround note.
Mouthfeel:Full bodied with modest carbonation.
Overall: While nothing like the IPA’s I seek out/enjoy, this is a tasty beer. I wish I was able to compare this to what was brewed back then, so until my time machine gets out of the shop, I will take Brooklyn’s word for it.
