Commercial Description:
Formerly known as Pennant Ale '55...Brooklyn Pennant Pale Ale '55 is a classic English pale ale, brewed with the prized Maris Otter Malt and Fuggles, Willamette and Cascade hops. Maris Otter is an old malt variety that yields an incomparable biscuity flavor. Pennant is chesnut-colored, medium in body with a hearty malt palate and smooth hop finish. This beer is a tribute to Brooklyn’s world champion baseball team.

Poured from bottle...Decent white head. ..rich reddish amber in color. Carbonation looks good... I like the initial bitterness of this beer...but it does not last long on the tongue. Decent beer that I will drink again..although nothing out of this world but better than average.

Bottle Amber pour with nice white head. Sweet hoppy aroma. Something weird in the flavor though, a bit off. Not too interesting overall.

Pours a coppery amber with a small but lasting foam ring and a hoppy & soapy aroma. Nice bitterness, but the odd carbonation instantly reminded me of tonic water, and I could even detect a note of lime in the hops. Chalky dry aftertaste, and a thin but creamy body. The odd tonic-water carbonation and the soapy aroma make this an odd beer, and definitely not my favourite Brooklyn.

Poured a standard amber with a medium thickness creamy light yellow head. The aroma was sweet, some caramel, hops evident. Fairly one dimensional. The flavor was a pretty even balance between hop and malt, light bitterness, sweetness, metallic bitterness. The palate was mild and slight waxy. Not a bad beer, just an easy drinker.

a rustier ipa appearance with a thick foam, tiny bubbled head, maybe a quarter inch. looks pretty carbonated. i smelled my friend’s yesterday and could tell right away it was super english. what a letdown. malty, feety aroma. taste is somewhere between an english ESB and a sam adams boston lager. so, malty and feet, a bit watery

Bottle. Pours a clear light amber with a one finger head that lasts leaving good lacing. Aroma is biscuits, slightly fruity, citrusy, and floral with a hint of sweet malt at the end. Taste is biscuity, somewhat grainy, light sweet malt, and mild floral hops. Mouthfeel in a little thin with a very mild amount of bitterness. Good.
