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 first Brooklyn. Clear red body, no real head. Very hoppy scent with faint malt. Hoppy bitter flavour.

Nice clean pour, malty with a nice smooth finish - nicely hopped. Depending on the batch, can have a bit of a sour aftertaste

This ale is an amber color with a sweet, hoppy aroma. It has a creamy, bitter yet slightly sweet flavor with a hint of fresh oregano.

Poured a muddy red-orange with almost no head, interesting from the bottle. Very slight earthy aroma. Bit on the watery side. Light grassy hoppiness with a sweet, citric bite, but really not much no it, unfortunately.

Draft at the Saloon, Washington, D.C. Poured amber, with a nice, off-white head. Malty nose and flavor with a nice hoppy finish. A nice tasting, refreshing ale.

Bottled as Pennant Ale 55. Slightly hazy, orange-brown ale with a small off-white head. Fruits, caramel, yeast-notes and apples in the aroma. The flavor has fruityness, caramel, some hops and spicyness. Medium body and a fruity and hoppy finish. A really nice beer, hoppy and fruity, but it doesn’t stand out from the crowd. (060819)
