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) Pretty bland and generic. Too sweet for me. Fairly malty but no real complexity to the malt. Only a hint of hops. Brooklyn brews far better beers...why drink this one?

On tap at the brewery. Pours a straw color with a white head. Very grassy in aroma, almost like a ball field. Tastes mildly of citrus and caramel. High in water content for my taste. Minor league.

An almost orange pour with light foamy head and lace. Aroma of caramel malt, apples, and a light/medium grassed hop aroma. Flavor was almost mediciny with a hint of apple. A nice finishing bitter. A tad too foamy for my liking.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle marked Oct 2008-1431. The pour is an amber color and a little on the cloudy side with a small beige head. The aroma is mostly of malts and something zesty like orange peel. Also a little bready. The mouthfeel is pretty good; I would call it medium body. The flavor is also sweet and malty with a light hop finish. An enjoyable brew.

Pour was a nice orange-copper. Aroma wasnt too heavy, but had a light flutter of hops. Flavor was nice and balanced. Good hop backbone, but not overpowering. Mouthfeel was a little light.
