| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 20, 2007 Sampled as Pennant Ale. The beer is a bright orange-amber color with a medium thick fizzy head that burns off pretty quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. The aroma is bready malt with some hops thrown in. Medium-bodied with a sweet malt character at first, followed quickly by a moderate bitterness. Some sweet toffee is present as well, but overall this beer is pretty vanilla. The finish is piney hops with a shortlived sweetness on the back end. Average. Brewbie (220), New York, USA

A decent everyday beer. But there are probably better options if it’s an Ale that you desire. Kevster (225), Bradenton, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 15, 2007 12 oz. bottle with Pennant Ale ’55 on the label. Pours a thin clear copper color with an off-white head that diminishes to a flat appearance. Has a sweet nutty aroma with hints of citrus. Flavor is toasty with a hop balance that finishes dry. Easy drinking good beer yet disappointing. Alldaydrinker (558), Norwood, Massachusetts, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Aug 14, 2007 Pale ale worthy of purchasing an entire case; malty and just the right amount of hops to this brew; crisp and quite refreshing; a very grown-up version of the pale ale style. A good beer you can have for lunch! Goodgrief (1149), Middletown, Delaware, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 11, 2007 May 2005 - Poured golden brown with a small head. Looked identical to the Newcastle Brown I poured for my dad at the same time. Little lacing. Hoppy aroma, but not very hoppy taste. Kind of bland with some kind of funky aftertaste (not skunky) that I can’t quite describe. Not my favorite ale in the world...and for one described as an English Pale Ale, does not match up with others I’ve tried. Nihon (240), Vernon, Connecticut, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2007 Amber colored, sweet malts and light hops aroma, slightly soapy. Flavor falls a little short, little weak for my tastes. More of an English influenced beer. Malty, and a little rough around the edges.
