Brooklyn Brewery East IPA

I don't often get a chance to sample anything from Brooklyn Brewery, but I had a couple of these after the wedding reception in Poughkeepsie Friday night. East India Pale Ale poured a deep apricot gold with a scanty white head that disappeared fast. It had a bit of an oily consistency to it and seemed to have a fairly high IBU count, but it's only a 47, which is probably about where you want it to be - according to their website, Brooklyn Brewery is not "trying to peel the enamel off your teeth". The hops impart a piney aroma and as the beer reaches room temperature, other flaors, such as peach and maybe some lemongrass and caramel. Overall a very solid IPA
