hopson (591), Williamsville, New York, USA Oct 22, 2007 orange-copper in appearence, tightly bubbled white head. a nice option if there are mostly macro beers available. malty, crisp, english hop character that is mostly earthy. I had two. ghostmonkey (182), budd lake, New Jersey, USA Oct 19, 2007 bottle . pours deep copper wiht a fizzy white head . . aroma is caramel, apricot, honey, rasins, wheat bread . . taste is slight hops, malts, slightly bitter . . not very complex or full. . . finishes kinda of bitter and watery bonbright7 (173), Bellport, New York, USA Oct 16, 2007 Tap. I liked this very much as it’s malty with a touch of sweetness and hops that makes for a great mouth full. Sometimes it displayed a passing watery element, but it didn’t bother me as I was looking forward to the next taste... gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Oct 14, 2007 Bottle. Standard golden color. Nice solid, thin head. A little malt with a very lager-like scent on the nose. The taste is that of a English old ale mixed with an American Pale Ale...but watered down. The nice hoppy flavor is more diluted than it should be, so it teases towards being a better beer than it is. jstraw (750), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 11, 2007 Amber with decent, creamy off-white head / Faint, sweet. caramel malt nose / Light body, weak malts with no discernable hops, and without much finish / Simple flavors of light caramel malt with a little sweetness on the finish / Dissapointing effort for the usually reliable Brooklyn. Scrappy (10), Brooklyn, New York, USA Oct 11, 2007 Pennant ale is not the same thing as Brooklyn Lager. Geez man, I live in Brooklyn. If it was the original beer representing Brooklyn Ber Co, the company would be out of business.
The original is good. A balance between flavor and easy drinking. A bit filling but overall delicious for any occasion JamesD (192), Centreville, Virginia, USA Oct 10, 2007 A very drinkable beer. The aroma and flavor are not that exceptional but they are pretty smooth and go down easy. The flavor is a lot less hoppy than I’m used to for pale ales, which isn’t a bad thing if you prefer more balance. jwdevalue (158), Neptune, New Jersey, USA Sep 29, 2007 This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.
