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.

12 oz bottle. Pours an amber with thin off-white head. Aroma is toasty, with a bit of caramel and a tiny bit of yeastiness. Taste is moderately bitter, receding into a mildly sweet refreshing finish. This one isn’t remarkably unique, but a very solid basic beer.

philvil (155) - Massachusetts, USA - SEP 14, 2010
As good a session beer as you can find. It’s very light but has a delicious and unique malty character. Easily overwhelmed by strong beers, you really need a clean palate to appreciate the subtle flavors here

Chapel (418) - Levittown, New York, USA - SEP 6, 2010
Plain and bland. A completely forgettable but sessionable beer that you should only pick up if your other options are macros.

Bif (528) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - AUG 29, 2010
Bottle- Clear amber color with a moderate head that fades quickly to some lacing. Light fruity and herbal aroma. Crisp with a mild malt & sweetness. A touch of bitterness with a fairly dry finish. Medium body with carbonation, expected a bit more. Good brew, not overwhelming.

on tap at the brewery. amber color with a decent head. A refreshing pale ale, but nothing to write home about. Not very complex.

r464 (943) - Earth, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 17, 2010
Balanced malt and bitterness of hops. Still, a bit watery with a weak finish. Lacking in a certain ’punch’, but easy to drink and one that would be a good session ale to have around.

TheJester (1230) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 4, 2010
355 mL bottle. Typical copper-orange of a PA, but there’s very little head. Aroma leans toward the biscuit malt, but there is a little bruised apple in there as well, along with a little sweet orange. Flavour leans in this direction as well, although there is some pleasant Brit-hop flavour and nice underlying bitterness. Carbonation is a little on the high side, but it works. Nice sessionable beer.
