Poured a pale golden color with a creamy white head. Citrusy aromas along with some hops. Flavor is similar, mainly hoppy. Nice palate. Crisp and refreshing without being too light.

On tap at the KSBF ’08 as Brooklyn Pennant Ale ’55. Hazy gold body with a small head. Nose of citrus. Fairly bland caramel flavor with a hint of soapiness. Nothing special.

Bottled. Brooklyn Pennant Ale is a clear amber color with a small head in relation to the large amount of carbonation. The aroma and flavor are clean with high notes of caramel. The malty base gives this ale a smooth finish which leads to a very drinkable beer. This is a great beer ot drink when others are pounding american macros.

Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma with a bit of hops. The flavor has biscuity and caramel malt and earthy hops. Not bad.

Pours a gold/amber with a thin white head. Well balanced, and a decent amount of hops. Nice little bit of bitterness. Solid beer.

Pours golden amber into a shaker. Off-white head with medium retention. Unobtrusive, but well-balanced with sweet malts upfront a slight bitter hop finish.

Bottle, June 2008. This beer pours amber with a great, white head. I can smell aromas of caramel, and some floral scents through the hops. Flavour starts with caramel, slightly sweet, with biscuit and a bitter finish.

from log at friend’s party. Pours rather pale, orange in color with medium cream white head. Aroma of citrus, hops. Flavor is mellow caramel sweet, yet well balanced with citrus flavors of lemon, tangerine, and orange. Finish lingers, and is softly bitter from the hops. Overall, a well-balanced, if not a bit tame, brew. Great for hot summer days.
