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.

Good workhorse of a beer. A grainy beer with some breadiness to it. Pours a nice dark brown with good-sized head.

Wasn’t too impressed. Tasted rather bland to me. Not much going on overall.

rosenbergh (3145) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUL 28, 2011
Draught at the brewery. As Pennant Ale. Brooklyn, NY.
Clear dark amber colour with small off-white head. Sweetish woody malty aroma. Mild fruity hops, no real bitterness and strong woody dry maltiness. Not very challenging. Quite regular (Pale) Ale.

Tap at unos in neshaminy. Barely existent aroma is malt, biscuit. Flat, watery taste is malty with little flavor. Pretty pointless.

PENNANT 55. On tap at Rattle ’N’ Hum, NYC on 24th July 2011. Clear copper with white vanishing head and no lacing. Yeast and touch of smoke in the aroma. Lemon citric, sweet and tangy in-mouth. Finish lemon citrus, fruit and tanginess. Zingy mouthfeel.

Pours copper brown. Nose is toasty biscuity malt and citrous. Taste is crisp citrous tang and not much else.Body is fairly light and watery and taste is a bit watery minerally. Needs a bit more hopping if you ask me.

Had this as Brooklyn Pennant Ale ’55. Thin, a taste of dark fruit and malt. Not much linger. A decent summer beer and light.
