Dec 14, 2007 Bottle. Nose is subdued hops. Clear golden amber with a thin white head leaving good lacing. Nice mellow bitterness. Palate is slightly sharp but with a nice thickness.

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.

Nov 21, 2007 15 NOV 07. 12oz bottle of Brooklyn Pennant Ale 55. Pours clear, copper color, with an egg-shell colored head. Aroma of fresh brewed ale. Medium hop aromaswith a rich malt body. Flavors are very well balanced. Clean bitterness in the finish. Rich and medium bodied.

Nov 13, 2007 12 Oz Bottle. Skunky, transparent pale malt aroma. Pours middle amber, with light haze and a rim of white head. Flavor is a predictably blah schmalz of underwhelming floor rot and dust. There’s some crisp sugar corners and refined yeast character in there somewhere but it gets buried by lackluster esters and an overly acidic hop dose. Finishes dry and bland. Another Brooklyn snorer.

Nov 11, 2007 Bottle. Pours a deep golden/light amber with a thick white head. Aroma of almost skunky/yeasty Eastern Eoropean style beers. Flavor was weak, with a certain grassiness. Maybe this was an old or bad bottle, I don’t know, but I won’t try again. UNDERWHELMING!
