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.

bottle labeled pennant ale ’55 poured a caramel amber color with a thin off white head that did retain a thin layer for some time. aroma has pale malt, light caramel sweetness, bread, and some mellow hops. mouth feel is medium light with ample carbonation. flavor is a nice pale malt and hop concoction. light bitters and a pinch of salt lead into a finish that has light hop and malts. fresh tasting nice session brew.

I really love the aroma on this beer. The taste is smooth and malty and mildly hoppy. I could drink this all day long.

Bottle as Pennant Ale ’55 from Vintage Cellar. Poured a slightly hazy amber with a minimal white head. Aromas of dust, lightly roasted caramel and some lightly spicy hop. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is lightly roasted malt, "biscuity" seems appropriate, and a very light bitter. Fairly tasty, but not all that exciting.

Poured a nice dark amber color with very little head. Had a smooth, but under-hopped taste. Its mild bitterness was accompanied buy sweet notes. It finished smooth and not dry, a nice summer beer.

Good session type beer. Biscuit aroma with malty flavor. Smooth beer. Easy to drink on a hot summer day. Wouldn’t rank it high on the IPA list, but easily drinkable.

Mild spices, ratehr earthy, and some sweet malts in this English PA. I thought the earth tones were a bit overdone, but it is in the English style, so maybe it fits. This is OK, but I got tired of it pretty quick.

Bottle. Amber pour with a thick white head. Has a nice hop aroma with an underlying sweetness. Nice flavor, sweet malt up front with a great dry hoppy finish. Pretty good.

On tap at JFK airport. Amber pour, fluffy white head. Aromas of light malt and wheat crackers. Flavor is malty and pretty smooth, but boring. Very boring.
