Name: East India Pale Ale
From: Brooklyn Brewing, New York, USA
Type: English IPA
Ah yes, the last of the Brooklyn variety pack. I was going to write a fair critique of this one, but I had a long day at work and have a lot of other stuff to do tonight so instead I will say:
Fuck this beer. It sucks and I never want to drink it again.
I don't expect an English style IPA to taste like an American style IPA. I full expect it to be more muted and malt-forward. That said, this tasted like my goddamn homebrew and that is not a compliment. I don't know if it's the yeast they use at this brewery, but the beers are all way too similar. This one was sour and tangy and unpleasant, but also boring. Sort of like a Papa John's pizza. It sucks, and you don't really enjoy it, but if it's in front of you you'll probably guide it toward your mouth. Ugh. There's just too much good beer out there to every justify getting this again.
