Brooklyn Ale

Pours a clear golden color, head has little retention. A unique ale, hints of some caramel and citrus.

12oz bottle. Still under the ’55 label. Filtered and deep amber. Minimal head. Citrus aromas. Bready malts and sugary aromas. Medium bodied and dry. Good malt cereal flavors. Nice palate. Touch fruity undertones. Crisp and off-dry finish. Full lingering orange grapefruit hop finish. Easy and totally quaffable.

Draft. The aroma is mild, just a little bit of sweet malt. The flavor is similar but very dry, and it also has some prominent fruity flavors. Not very good for an english pale ale.

Clear brassy-golden body with a standard sudsy white head. English malt signatures of caramelized fruit, plus mild diacetyl and a very modest hop profile. Medium sticky malt flavor and moderate bitterness in the finish. Delicate beer with an obvious English ale inspiration. Seems aimed somewhere in the realm of Bass Ale. Fair product overall.

had this as pennant ale ’55. really didnt taste like a pale, actually one of the more disappointing beers i’ve had. watery and flavor less for the most part, not a repeat buy.

Poured an amber color with a slight haze, decent head, retention was weak, lacing only slightly above average. The aroma was pine hops, fruity esters, light caramel. The flavor followed suit, caramel, light toffee, assertive bittering hops (clearly noble hops), light pine. The mouthfeel was rather light and thin and this thing had a watery grainy texture.

Amber pour, white head. Crisp buttery malts, with a toasted biscuit touch and some caramel malts, finished with some spicy hops. And an irony aftertaste to kill all of it.

Golden/copper color with a small white head. Aroma of bready malt. Strong malt flavor, not much hops.
