Brooklyn Ale

The aroma is very much like an English Ale with biscuits, nuts, and hops. The appearance is amber with a somewhat small head. The flavor is like the aroma and quite good. The palate is decent too. Overall a good beer.

Really liked this beer. Enjoy all of the Brooklyn beers actually. Had this one as brooklyn Pennant 55 Ale... so they must be still making it as both names.

A very nice and refreshing beer with a balanced amount of hops. A perfect beer for an evening by the BBQ

Malt caramelly aroma, sweet hops. Pours amber. Extremely mild, malty, very english, mild hop flavor, some citrus.

On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY as Pennant 55 Pale Ale. Good EIPA. Copper color with good balance of Hops & Malts. Medium bodied & pretty well made

Marked pennant ale 55. Copper colored, with a large, loose head. Malty aroma, with some hops. Medium body, with an almost IPA intensity of hops and malt. Finishes a bit long. But, the hops cover well.

Bottled (as pennant ale 55). Dark amber colour, small white head. Aroma is caramel, grass and hops. Flavour is the same along with some raisins and even alcohol. The hoppiness grows a lot in the finish. Very pleasant product.

Rated 4/17/07: Light brown pour with a copper tint, dwindling head and decent lacing. Mild aroma of fresh bread, sweet butter, and light brown sugar. Flavour has a strong biscuity maltiness coupled with some sharp English style hops (Fuggles anyone?). A light caramel and brown sugar follows the initial flavour and ends with a dry honey sweetness. Mouthfeel is crisp with a medium body, light enough to enjoy a few in a row and heavy enough to please the senses.
