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.

MoDog (927) - Griffith, Indiana, USA - AUG 25, 2007
Poured from a 12oz bottle into a shaker. This beer poured a light copper color with a foamy beige head that lasted. Some light lacing was left behind. The aroma of this beer was made up of light caramel and citrus notes. The flavor was mildly bitter with a hint of roasted caramel malt. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with a good dose of carbonation. A decent session brew, but there are better pale ales out there.

bdigital (634) - Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA - AUG 21, 2007
Light brown/amber color with bubbly white head. Big malt and sweet bread dough aroma with notes of caramel and a slight piney hop essence. Bold malt flavor, a bit fruity and again some sweet caramel aspects come through in the flavor. Damn good beer.

On tap. Pours orange/amber with a light head. Aroma is malt, bread, light piney hops. Flavor is malt, caramel, piney hoppiness, and some biscuit. Smooth finish. Not outstanding, but enjoyable.

Dogbrick (4522) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - AUG 20, 2007
Sampled as Pennant Ale. The beer is a bright orange-amber color with a medium thick fizzy head that burns off pretty quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. The aroma is bready malt with some hops thrown in. Medium-bodied with a sweet malt character at first, followed quickly by a moderate bitterness. Some sweet toffee is present as well, but overall this beer is pretty vanilla. The finish is piney hops with a shortlived sweetness on the back end. Average.

cryfreedmb (113) - Ocean, New Jersey, USA - AUG 17, 2007
UPDATED: SEP 5, 2007 Color is amber with a moderate off white head. Has a malty flavor with a dry finish. A decent everyday beer. But there are probably better options if it’s an Ale that you desire.

Kevster (274) - Bradenton, Florida, USA - AUG 15, 2007
12 oz. bottle with Pennant Ale ’55 on the label. Pours a thin clear copper color with an off-white head that diminishes to a flat appearance. Has a sweet nutty aroma with hints of citrus. Flavor is toasty with a hop balance that finishes dry. Easy drinking good beer yet disappointing.
