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.

This beer is a tribute to Brooklyn’s world champion baseball team.

Bottle. As ‘Pennant Ale’. Pours a nice copper colour with a short-lasting off-white head. Sweetish malty and hoppy aroma. Flavour is equally sweetish and malty with hoppy notes. Has a caramel finish. 10-02-06.

#1200 for me (thank you all very much! j/k), not too bad of a beer to have for a milestone, poured amber in color with an average tan head, little to no lacing around the glass, aroma full of caramel, earth & just a touch of citrusy hops, medium in body, very smooth & drinkable, mostly malty flavors at first but then a nice wallop of hops toward the end of the palate, very well balanced, smooth & sweet finish with a little more bite of hops, not a bad pale ale at all

12 oz. Bottle. Pours a deep, slightly hazy amber with a moderate white head. Aroma is somewhat sweet and yeasty. Flavor reminds me of sweetgrass. Light hop finish. Good stuff.

Pours gold with a small white head. Smells of tea, grass, some wildflowers, earthy. Taste is of caramel, lemons, some grapey notes.

This beer pours a golden, color caramel in nature. It leaves a white laced head that disappates quickly as you drink. The beer is clear and bright, looks inviting. As you smell it malt, grass, and grapefruit come to mind. The taste is lemon, honey, caramel....this is great session beer one that would go well with blue cheese burger or fish and chips. A dish that has a salty finish.

draft Pours a nice amber with a white head. Aroma is of flowers and carmel. Taste is very good, medium body malty with a little hops. A light aftertaste. This is a very refreshing beer. I enjoy this one very much.
