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.

Pours a crisp clear light orange color with a smalla mount of foamy white head. Aroma is citrusy hops and caramel malts. Flavor is pretty plain, a bit watery, slightly sweet and orangey, with a slight hop finish. Overall, a dissapointment from such a good brewery.

This ale was consumed at the Capital Ale House. It was very disappointing. There was little hops flavors and no citrus. It was rather drab not exciting like other pale ales. The color was dark straw and the head was modest. It was medium to light in body. It did have a smooth finish.

I saw this beer and it drew my interest, especially with the baseball on the label. A nice ale, golden color, with a bitter taste. Smooth and dry. Try it while it lasts, because I dont think it will be around long!

Pennant bottling. Clear amber, little head. Aroma of caramel and faint vegetal hops. Flavor is in fact biscuit oriented, with lightly floral and orange accented hops. A bit vegetal on the finish, but not bad. Tends towards what many would consider a standard Amber.

Pours Orange/red in color, with almost no head. Carbonation is evident at a glance, but doesn’t come across as overly carbonated when tasted. This beer has a very smooth hoppy finish, with a nice wheaty taste to it. Overall this is a solid brew, not the best ale I’ve had, but above average.

Draft. Pretty almost orangish medium brown, a teensy bit of murk in there. Small off-white head dissipates. Mild floral nose. I like this. A very pleasant mild wheaty taste goes great with the hops. Good change of pace and above average in all aspects.

Flowery and malty aroma with hints of alcohol. Amber colour with off-white head. Light to medium body with not a lot of taste except for some distant caramel malt. Aftertaste is dominated by the hops in a very smooth way. Delicious and very drinkable ale.
