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.

Decent beer, typical pale ale, many times they can be not so flavorful but this is easy drinking, light but does have some flavor of malt and hop and a bit of lemon, not bad, if you are looking for a summer session.

It’s OK. Has a bit of the Euro-lager aroma and taste to it. Light hops flavor and very light palate. Not really all that good, but not bad either.

bottle - Pours clear light amber with a two finger head. The aroma is simply caramel malt. The flavor is of toasted caramel malt with some mild hops bitterness. It’s light to medium bodied and an okay brew overall.

clear gold, fluffy white head, lacy. very bubbly looking. rich malty nose with a hint of hops. flavor is similar with rich malty backbone offset by gently bitter hops. medium bodied, very light bitter finish. a bit too malty sweet, and short on the bitter. a bit pedestrian.

Pretty good run-of-the-mill pale ale; I enjoyed this one as it began to slowly warm up. This is one of those brews to enjoy when ya just want to kick back a few over a good meal with some good friends. Quite flavorful and won’t fill you up too quickly. Easy to drink on the drinkability scale and would be excellent with some smoked salmon.

This was ok, a pretty good stand by ale. Nothing really great about it. Malty, sweet...

Aroma is of tea, bread, not much hops with a hint of caramal. Apperance is that of a darker amber with a frothy white head that disappears almost instantly. Taste has a light sweetness with a medium bitter finish with a medium bodied, slightly oily texture with lively carbonation. Overall a pretty decent English Ale just not my cup of tea.
