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.

Good solid maltiness with some hops there is more substance to this beer than I feel some people are giving it credit for.Easy drinker.Would buy again

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a white head. Aroma is light malt, and hop bitterness, a bit musky. Flavor is lightly bitter the whole way through with a malt backbone. Lightly nutty with some earthy hoppiness.

I think this beer is under-rated. Pours a nice amber color with a white head. I thought the hops were just right...not too much. Perfect on a hot summer day.

Interesting. Coppery amber in color with a thick white head. Bready aroma. Flavor is classic pale ale with an overabundance of the biscuit-like character. Don’t think I could drink more than one of these. It was decent, but not quite my thing.

Bottle. Clear copper color with slightly golden white head that quickly dissipates. Sweet malty smell that is pleasant. Taste is sweet, malty, and slight citrus flavor, and hops linger in the aftertaste. Nice beer.

Well rounded blend of malt and hops. Toasted chestnut flavor that tastes a little bit watery to me. I may have gotten a bad batch, I’ll have to try this again down the road and re-review. As it stands... overall a decent beer, I actually enjoyed it better out of the bottle than the glass.

Pours a clear copper color with decent head. Aroma of malts and animal crackers. Flavor was doughy malts, sweet malts, banana, grass and a nice bitter hop finish. I like this style and Brooklyn did this one good.Very drinkable and satisfying.
