3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled Labeled Brooklyn Pennant Ale ’55 in honor of the dem bums finally winning one. Duke, Campy, Jackie and Gil are put to shame a little with this one - as it won’t be winning any pennants with this average effort. Amber with a large foamy white head gone as fast as the Dodgers in ’57 from Flatbush. Aroma of lemon, pale malt, cereal grains and mild hops. Light nose of sweet malt, lemon, pale malts, caramel. Kind of musty and carbonation feel is a bit too fizzy. Drinkable but only so-so.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aroma is filled with hops, not too abundant. The appearance is a nice golden color with a decent head. The flavor is full of light fruit esters, and complex malts. It’s hops are ok, but not over the top. A bit of grass or skunk. It’s feel is ordinary, nothing over the top. It’s smooth, a nice session.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle in NYC.
Fruity, rich, lovely beer.
Prunes, peaches, yet enough bitterness to make this a nice little beer. Bu Brooklyn know their stuff, don’t they?
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This beer was smooth and well-balanced. If I am honest (and I am) I did not realize this beer was a pale ale, which is good, since I don’t prefer pale ales. It is malty and quality. Recommended to try on tap especially.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a deep golden amber color with a nice finger of white head. Aroma is citrusy and has some hop notes. Flavor is medium malt up front with a nice hop finish. Has just the right amount of bitterness to me. Body isn’t too thin, but not extremely thick or heavy and has a nice, balanced carbonation. A very refreshing beer with some body and bite to it. Another great offering from Brooklyn (they now have me hooked).
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured a pale golden color with a creamy white head. Citrusy aromas along with some hops. Flavor is similar, mainly hoppy. Nice palate. Crisp and refreshing without being too light.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at the KSBF ’08 as Brooklyn Pennant Ale ’55. Hazy gold body with a small head. Nose of citrus. Fairly bland caramel flavor with a hint of soapiness. Nothing special.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled.
Brooklyn Pennant Ale is a clear amber color with a small head in relation to the large amount of carbonation. The aroma and flavor are clean with high notes of caramel. The malty base gives this ale a smooth finish which leads to a very drinkable beer.
This is a great beer ot drink when others are pounding american macros.
