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.

bottle. Nothing great here but not a bad beer. Decent aroma and lack of appearance. Flavor is mild but not as balanced as I would like.

Bottle best before April 2007. Poured a small off-white head that mostly diminished, poor lacing, transparent, visible carbonation, and an orange hue. Nose was caramel, malty, hoppy, and somewhat earthy. Flavor was malty, caramel and hoppy. Tingly mouthfeel. Light body. Nothing outstanding IMO.

Pennant Ale ’55:
</br> Nice golden/brown colour, but the appearance isn’t special in neither colour nor head. Very fruity, but vague, aroma, with hops and something that appears to be sweet apples. Very fruity flavor with hops and a little berries. Easily hopped aftertaste, which is a little pilsenery. Good body compared to ABV.

As Pennant Ale ’55. Clear copper, creamy off-white head. Sweet buttery caramel and hop aroma. Flavor has watery Kool-aid hops with some papery citrus notes. Not that good.
