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.

This beer had to flavor and was one of the most bland ales i’ve ever drank. This was under the Brookly Pennant Ale ’55.

zdk (1609) - New York, New York, USA - OCT 21, 2009

bottle: Tried as Brooklyn Pennant ale 55. Not a bad brew but tasted in a session with Brooklyn Oktoberfest, and I much prefer that one. Arouma is grainy with yeast, biscuits and grassy (a bit pale laggery, if you ask me). Finishes bitter with some spice.

travita (2535) - Frisco, Texas, USA - OCT 21, 2009

The look is clear, copper colored, with a light white head. The smell is grains, fruits, biscuits, and slight wine. The taste is a little dry, malts, some caramel, and fruits.

Soonah (1120) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - OCT 14, 2009

From dmac via trade. The pour was amber and clear with a white head and plenty of carbonation. The aroma was malty and and was lightly spicy. The flavor had some sweet caramel to go along with the rich malts and a weird but distinct strawberry flavor. Unfortunate metallic taste crept in. The mouthfeel was thin and the carbonation was a bit much.

doubleo (1444) - San Diego, California, USA - OCT 9, 2009

12oz bottle from dmac. Pours clear brown with a thin, fizzy, offwhite head. Smells nutty and slightly sweet. Tastes about the same. Sweet and nutty. Thin body, good carbonation.

KyotoLefty (3480) - Kyoto, JAPAN - OCT 2, 2009

Bottle. Nice amber color. Un-hopped caramel aroma with tobacco. Malty, caramel flavor, rather sweet, with low hopping. A bit of a dud-not enough hops. Disappointing from them.
