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.

Bottle. Not much happeing, amber in colour, with some mild floral hop characters, some light toffee, sweetish and a bit flat, i thought the lager was better than this.

Dainty aroma that smells clean and mildly malty. Tea colored with a thin white head. Herbal and bready flavor with a very mild bitterness. Clean tasting.

Bottle marked: Pennant Ale ’55. Pours a rich/red brown. Aroma was kinda yeasty. Nice flavor, not that bitter. A not overwhelming metallic aftertaste is present.

Regardless of the name & commercial description, my bottle’s label reads Pennant Ale ’55. It pours a bright copper color with a rapidly collapsing, creamy white head. The aroma is a soft caramel with very mild fresh apple and a light herbal hopping. Medium-bodied, the caramel continues into the flavor, abandoned by the fruit but joined by nuts and supplemented with more herbal hop bitterness. It finishes on a slightly sweet, somewhat tinny note.

Definite caramel flavor here. Good copper color too. I kind of like this one. Not my favorite pale ale but then again there really isn’t anything wrong with it. IF only I were a dodgers fan...

Mellow, lightly hopped, carmel complex, rather dry for a pale, not bad, but nothing special.
