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.

Pennant ale 55.Good amount of soap in the aroma.Pours a cloudy orange/red with very little head.Got some sweet malt and the same soap as in the aroma.Medium mouthfeel with a pretty bad after taste.

12 oz. bottle at flat rock saloon (thanks Sal). Pours amber with thin white head that left only a ring around the glass. Metallic, fruity nose. Malty with light hoppy bitterness. Not much a fan of Brooklyn’s beers. Hype bottle though.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma is malty, and smells of bread, but also evidences some floral hops. Poured copper in color with a small tan head that diminished quickly. No lacing. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Flavor is malty and tastes of cardboard, bread, earth, and a little bit of hops. Light to medium body. Average carbonation. Short bitter finish. Overall, drinkable, but nothing special.

A great example of the English bitter style. Red amber, moderate head generating scant lacing. Earthy, bready aroma with faintly vegetal hops. Sweet caramel malt with equal earthy and hoppy elements, moderately bitter finish.

This came as Pennant Ale’55. Dark, reddish amber color and a moderate, but lasting head. The aroma has notes of hops and fruit. The flavour is aromatic and quite full with a lot of fruit notes (tangerine and melon), caramel, aroma hops, roasted malt etc. A nice one.

Pours out a nice medium amber forming a nice frothy white foam head. Aroma of dough, malt, & hops. Has a nice hoppish flavor with a wonderful malty feel and taste.Very good beer, extremely sessionable. Once again Brooklyn, with thier excellent brewmeister Garret Oliver, has done another fine job.

Clear, copper coloured body is topped by a low white head. Smell is herbal hops. Sweet in the mouth with a light crisp finish. Nothin fancy but a well-balanced and tasty session ale.
