Style: English Pale Ale
Brooklyn, New York USA

Bottle at Flying Saucer.
Pours a boring amber with little head. Aroma is malty melon, leaf, and a slight pumpkin. Flavor is bitter malted leaf and autumn wet grass. Watery mouthfeel. Boring, lifeless, and forgettable. Hopefully this team was eliminated in the first round.

Clear amber ale with compact white head, nicely balanced brew with a crisp finish. Very nice malt notes mixed with some fine dry notes.

Bottle thanks to Dmac Pennant ’55 label on it. Pours out a clear amber color with a medium sized white head. Aroma is sweet malts, and caramel, slight bitterness. Taste is smooth and very drinkable, notes of caramel, some grains and other sweet malt notes going on also, light grassy hop bitterness. Solid, but nothing to knock your socks off.

Smells stale. Checked the bottle, said it was good for another few months. Tastes of stale fruit and hops. Aftertaste is dry.

12 oz bottle from Jonthan Ron. Pours an impressive looking clear orangeish/amber with a large fluffy light beige head that leaves a nice slick on top of my beer for the duration. Aroma was malt dominant with amber malts, honey on brown toast and some grassy hops. Palate is medium bodied with average carbonation and just a touch of bitterness on the end. Flavor isn’t quite as pronounced as the aroma but was basically some cereal grains, toast, caramel and a slight touch of sourness. Very sessionable.

Light lawnmower beer for the day it was good for the heat. Liked the light flavors and how it finished. Had to go to Canada for a NY beer. Eh…

12 oz. Bottle. Pours a nice golden brown color. Decent beer. Smells of malt. Some hops are noted in the taste. Decent beer. Recommended.

Dark amber with a small white head. Aroma holds wheat, biscuit, and some definite notes of some sort of English ale; not a lot of hop present on the nose. Flavor has an interesting balance between flowery hops and a bit of sweet caramel malt. Nothing special, but certainly a serviceable session ale coming from Brooklyn Brewery.
