3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
The color was a light caramel. The head was creamy, frothy, light beige, and laced a little. The aroma was somewhat bland. It had maybe some ligth spice. The flavor had some hops but was lacking. The palate was okay, nothing special. The finish was somewhat metalic.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
’55
Poured a dark amber with a thin off white head that managed to hold onto a thin cap for 2/3rds. Malty vanilla caramel aroma. Light floral hop too. Toasty malt flavour with a clean bitter finish. A little watery around the edges as a general impression. Enjoyed it more as I drank it. Maybe I was expecting something much different since it was not labelled Pale Ale.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle of the ’55 version, bb Aug 07. Copper with a medium and lasting head. Aroma of molasses and metallic-pine hops. Flavor is metallic caramel, and has that twang of something that I hate in Bass (the yeast or the fuggles maybe). Palate is pretty smooth, light-medium, and dryish. Has flavor, just not any that stroke my taste buds the right way. A lot better than Bass is about the best I can say about it.
2.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured from bottle...Decent white head. ..rich reddish amber in color. Carbonation looks good... I like the initial bitterness of this beer...but it does not last long on the tongue. Decent beer that I will drink again..although nothing out of this world but better than average.

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle Amber pour with nice white head. Sweet hoppy aroma. Something weird in the flavor though, a bit off. Not too interesting overall.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a coppery amber with a small but lasting foam ring and a hoppy & soapy aroma. Nice bitterness, but the odd carbonation instantly reminded me of tonic water, and I could even detect a note of lime in the hops. Chalky dry aftertaste, and a thin but creamy body. The odd tonic-water carbonation and the soapy aroma make this an odd beer, and definitely not my favourite Brooklyn.
