Dec 25, 2007 Bottle of Pennant ’55 poured into a pint glass. Translucent amber with a large, large head that sticks around. Aroma is quite hoppy, but more sour hoppy than bitter hoppy. The flavor has notes of wheat bread and sour hops. Not bad, but lacking a good hoppy bite. Not a winter beer at all. I could see it being extremely refreshing on a 90 degree day though.

Dec 23, 2007 Pours a fairly dark amber color with a nice frothy white head, which lasts for a rather long time. Pretty bitchin’ aroma... hops. Bready, slightly metallic, some happy hoppy tastes in there too. Not really bitter. Some grassy taste in there too. A pretty good session.

Dec 15, 2007 This beer pours out a cloudy amber color with a thick head and some minor laceing along the sides of the pint glass in which i pouredit into. The aroma is hoppy with some hints of bready malt. It has a nice crisp initial flavor with bitter hops some hints of malt. the finish is very bland and some what watery, there is also not much of a palate let along a palate duration.

Dec 13, 2007 A vigorous pours produces a standard golden colour with a thick, creamy off-white head that fades quickly to a spotty film. The date on the bottle assures that it was brewed this month. The nose is floral and grassy hops, honey and some bready malts. The flavour is balanced but bland, with doughy malt and light fruity hops, with a crisp, grainy and bitter finish. The body is watery and the palate duration is short. Nice for hot summer days, but as I drink this in my tube socks with a foot of snow outside, it is definitely lacking.

Dec 11, 2007 Nice aroma of malt and hops. Refreshing flavor of smooth malt and mild hops. Good balanced pale ale.

Dec 2, 2007 Pours a brownish-gold with a nice head. Aroma was pleasant... mainly floral hops, not much of the bitter variety. Malt was in there a bit, too. The flavor isn’t too distinctive, but it goes down smoothly and is certainly refreshing. A good beer if you’re looking for a standard pale ale.

Nov 27, 2007 Draft at the brewery. A fairly standard pale ale. Amber in color with an off white head. It has a smooth hoppy aroma. There is a great balance of flavors. Mild hops mix with a smooth malty sweetness. The malts impart almost a breadiness character. It is medium bodied with a clean finish.
