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.

zappafan99 (463) - ASCENSION ISLAND - JUN 24, 2008
Hazy tea color. Lacing white head. Smells of yeast and malt. Smooth hops. Dry ending to a very malt start. A bit too dank and yeasty for me.

nuplastikk (2445) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 23, 2008
12oz Pennant Ale bottle. Chestnut-amber color. Lots of fruity and warm fuggles hops coming through. Big, biscuity malt profile reminiscent of a good English ale. Good session beer with a smooth finish.

Light and crisp. A little yeast flavor and some mild hops. Pretty tame overall, but I’d say a good beer to drink. I bought a six pack and drank it in one sitting with some friends. While it won’t explode with some crazy flavors, it’s something that’s good for a night of drinking, to relax or just to have around.

Much better than the ratings, but not much like a pale ale - more like a golden ale. There’s not much hoppiness but lots of flavor to enjoy, good offering from Brooklyn.

uneventful. Pours light cooper colour little white head. smooth with slight bitter/malt aftertaste. Nice but like I said, uneventful.
