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.

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.

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.
