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.

Golden orangish with a nice slight citrussy aroma. Slightly bitter but clean. Taste lingers with an ok body. Not bad but too bitter.

Bottle. Clear reddish brown, medium off-white head. Toffeish, nutty malt aroma, grassy and piney hops. Medium bodied, decent mouthfeel. Light sweetness to start with, and a moderate bitterness in the (short) finish. Well balanced but onedimensional.

It’s good to see Brooklyn available in Indiana lately. This bottle is labeled Pennant Ale ’55. Pours a clear amber with little head. A swirl of the tulip envokes notes of doughy bread and caramels, balanced by a touch of citrusy hops. The malt profile expands in the body, showing off the delicate honey sweetness and light breadiness of Maris Otter. Just enough grassy and lemony hops are used to keep things in kilter. Forget ’55, I would love to drink these during a MLB game anytime.

Bottle. Pours amber with medium off-white head. Aroma is malty with a little light fruit. Taste is semi-sweet with a very light hop finish. Simple but very drinkable.

Flavoring is light and thing. Pretty refreshing on a hot day but flavor is thin and leaves a palate looking for more.

Nice pale ale taste. Not too strong, but just flavorful enough. A rare good session pale.

This beer pours out a golden color with an average sized tan head. Armoa is musty and dough. Taste is so so I was expecting much more/ better hop profile. I guess this is why it is an English Pale Ale. Oh well not bad, just not great.
