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.

My bottle reads "Pennant Ale ’55" and I couldn’t be happier... great throwback to the Brooklyn Dodgers first World Series Championship win!!! I can only imagine the fans drinking this delicious beer back then (too bad they weren’t so lucky). The pour is perfect, one finger of head atop a clear, golden brown brew. The nose is mild, yet revealing of the medium hops and sugary malts. The taste is very well balanced, making this beer incredibly drinkable. Thank you Brooklyn... for everything.

Pours a clear dark golden amber color with a thin white foam head that quickly fades. Pilsner malt in the aroma with a subtle hop presence. Malty ale with a nice crisp hop balance. Slightly watered down with nice hop taste up front that is balanced by a sweet malty center and a dry, bitter hop finish.

tap on brewery. Dark orange colour with thin white head. Aroma is malty with some butter and hops. Taste has maltiness and sweetness. Very mediocre pale ale.

Red orange pour. Aroma is fairly weak but has an amount of butter present. Taste is dry with the fading feeling of butterscotch. Aftertaste turns for the better with the soft touch of cider.

Fruity and creamy-smooth with a smooth hop bite for balance. It looks foggy orange-gold features aromas and taste of honey, caramel, and hops... really nice session beer.

I didn’t find this beer to be particulary pale but I did it to be quite delicious nonetheless. Poured a light amber-red with a fine head and light lacing. Yeasty aroma with hops mixed in. Tasted bready, sweetly of caramel, a little fruity and just a tad bitter. Finished quite smooth.
