Bottle @ Bishops Arm in Malmoe, Sweden. MAhogney coloured body. Very nice. White head. Flavor is harsh and dry. Malty and bitter. Quite fruity. Nuts in aroma and caramel.

Fruity aroma with a dark tan color. Taste is slightly hoppy with an interesting malt flavor. Overall a very good ale.

A clear golden amber. Has a nice bouquet of mild grassy hops. Simple cereal, biscuit flavor, little spice, medium/thin to the mouth. one and done.

pennant ’55. nice golden color. virtually no head. malt aroma with a faint fruity-ness, hop character. light body, smooth finish. sweet malt flavor. not as bitter as i was expecting, which is actually kind of nice. slight fruity aftertaste. better than average, but nothing crazy special. nice session brew.

Pours a clear, medium-dark copper color. A small, fizzy, off-white head settles to a wispy film, leaving virtually no lacing behind. The aroma is dry and toasty, with mostly cereal grains and bitter, grassy hops showing. As it warms, a touch of honey sweetness emerges as a much welcomed balancing element. The flavor is bitter, with dried grassy notes showing sharply over toasted caramel and cereal grains. A medium body is somewhat harsh, with a gool deal of astringency coming through. I did not enjoy this one very much.

Bought the Brooklyn variety pack. I believe this beer has the best roasted malty flavor of the bunch. Somewhat like the Brooklyn Lager in that both are standard, middle-of-the-road for said style. Overall not a bad choice when shopping at the big-box supermarket.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Amber orange with orange-white head and lotsa lace. Malty orangy bready aroma. Caramel orange flavor with very mild tabacco bitterness. Medium body and carbo. Eh. I don’t expect it will win the pennant of beer.

Smells of nice lightly roasted malts and fresh floral hops. Pours a nice light clear copper with a nice pillowy white head. Taste is just like it smells, a perfect balance of roasted malts and fresh sour/bitter hops. Reminds me of their brooklyn lager, but an ale.
