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.

Good session type beer. Biscuit aroma with malty flavor. Smooth beer. Easy to drink on a hot summer day. Wouldn’t rank it high on the IPA list, but easily drinkable.

Mild spices, ratehr earthy, and some sweet malts in this English PA. I thought the earth tones were a bit overdone, but it is in the English style, so maybe it fits. This is OK, but I got tired of it pretty quick.

Bottle. Amber pour with a thick white head. Has a nice hop aroma with an underlying sweetness. Nice flavor, sweet malt up front with a great dry hoppy finish. Pretty good.

On tap at JFK airport. Amber pour, fluffy white head. Aromas of light malt and wheat crackers. Flavor is malty and pretty smooth, but boring. Very boring.

Labeled Pennant Ale ’55. It has a nice biscuit aroma and a smooth hop taste. It is very drinkable, and will drink again.

wcampbell (721) - Clemson, South Carolina, USA - AUG 9, 2008
UPDATED: APR 9, 2009 Labeled Pennant Ale. Not a fan of English pale ales at all. More malt than hops in this, but not too much of anything. Caramel malty flavor like a bitter or ESB. Crisp finish. Pretty drinkable though.

12 oz bottle labeled as Pennant Ale. Mild hop aromas, and I think even less on the flavor. I had expected more, but now I see that this is an English Pale Ale. Not to bad. Decent finish. Crisp and refreshing.

Had this on tap in Rye Brook N.Y. It felt it a bit obnoxious, overbearing and insistant upon itself. Much like the people at the bar. Not a fan....sorry!
