Commercial Description:
Formerly known as Pennant Ale '55...Brooklyn Pennant Pale Ale '55 is a classic English pale ale, brewed with the prized Maris Otter Malt and Fuggles, Willamette and Cascade hops. Maris Otter is an old malt variety that yields an incomparable biscuity flavor. Pennant is chesnut-colored, medium in body with a hearty malt palate and smooth hop finish. This beer is a tribute to Brooklyn’s world champion baseball team.

Beer pours out a with a redish amber hue and a light fluffy off white head that quickly shrinks down to almost nothing. The aroma is sweet and slightly fruity with a light toasty smell from the malt. Overall, the aroma is light and pleasant. The body is light with very little carbonation and a slick mouth feel. A slightly bitter flavor with light notes of hops though it is rather lacking in a longevity. The brew looks nice but has almost no body or substance, quickly diminishing into a watery rather bland beer.

Creamy malt aroma with a crystal clear copper amber color. Great bready malt flavor with a touch of hops at the end. Overall, this is nice to drink, a good session brew.

This beer had to flavor and was one of the most bland ales i’ve ever drank. This was under the Brookly Pennant Ale ’55.

bottle: Tried as Brooklyn Pennant ale 55. Not a bad brew but tasted in a session with Brooklyn Oktoberfest, and I much prefer that one. Arouma is grainy with yeast, biscuits and grassy (a bit pale laggery, if you ask me). Finishes bitter with some spice.
