This bottled brew from a bottle shop marked bbf April 07 poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent softly carbonated caramel brown colored body and a good lacing. The mild aroma was malty and dough. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and strongly tingly at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt and hops.

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.
