While I had tasted this many times before, it was last night's version on tap that wowed me as it seriously complimented the Indian Food I was having at The Curry Club of East Setauket, NY.

My local beer group descended upon the restaurant to find it empty and my pint full of the Brooklyn East IPA. It's orange and hazy colors looked unusual in my glass and the aroma of light hops really was low key compared to the usual American hop-bombs that exude only hops without much else.

The taste of oranges, apricots, and grapefruit came alive with the blonde malts as we dove into one pint after another. I must have stopped around 7 pints, but it was almost magical in its taste. It certainly subdued the spicy flavors of the platters we had.

Serving type: on-tap

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

A: A dull but clear copper body with a chunky head.

S: Orange marmalade.

T: Very hop forward. Orange marmalade and resinous qualities. Has a harsh bitter snap. Burned toast is the malt character. It's quite harsh – not for sissies!

O: While not a bad beer it's a bit too agressive and not complex enough.

EDIT: It's listed as an English IPA but tastes extremely American to me.

Serving type: bottle
