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.

Brown-orange with a decent head. Floral aroma and a nice malty flavour to begin with, biscuit-like, before the bitternes sets in.

hayduke (2445) - Eureka, California, USA - DEC 4, 2009
This 12 oz bottle was courtesy of Joe McPhee. Pours an attractive looking clear amber with a large foamy off-white head that left good lacing rings. Nose was malts with floral and grassy hops. Body is medium with average carbonation. Flavor is actually milder than the aroma would promise and was basically caramel malts and some light bitterness that carries over to the finish. This would make an excellent session brew.

Rustyham (1303) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - DEC 1, 2009
Really malty for such a light color. This has a fruity and chewy flavor and mouthfeel, and hardly any bitterness. I could down tons of this. Very Good. Bottle from Total Wine and More, Naples, Florida.

WLG423 (167) - Connecticut, USA - NOV 30, 2009
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.

Deep amber with a thin cream head. Nose is bready malts and caramel. Nice on the palate with a big bready malt flavor and a caramel/nut finish.

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.

Draught. Light amber pour with a medium off white head. Aroma of malt and hops. Medium body with flavor of caramel, roasted malt and hops with a mild bitter finish.
