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.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep copper color with a fluffy white head. The head lasts a long time. Refreshing hop aroma. Light nose, but good notes of pine, some peach, and a hint of a metallic note. Low carbonation and a rich mouthfeel. Slightly dry. Biscuit notes with a bit of citrus on the palate. Solid bitterness and a touch of sourness. Finishes very clean. A pretty solid beer with multiple layers of flavor.

Has a typical light gold color. Smells of malts and hops. Taste is pretty good on this one. Has a slight sweetness that blends perfectly with the malts to kind of tone down the malty flavor. A pretty decent ale.

Basic English Pale Ale with bready malts, soft hops and some spice. Not bad.

This had a nice flavor, just not a lot of it. Probs wouldn’t grab this one unless it was a lone micro representative, which I think would be uncommon for this brew. Good, but didn’t light this cowboy’s fire.

Bottle pours a simple ale that is not overly complicated by contrasting notes of hops. Malt and spice with hint of floral at the end.

Bottle. Pours orangish-brown with a nice beige head. Smells of malt and spicy. Tastes of bread, malt and nice hop presence. Lasting aftertaste. Some carmel taste. Pretty good.

12oz bottle from sampler case. Pours a deep orange with a thin white head that disapates quckly, but leaves some lace. Not much nose, but what is there is mostly sweet malt. Smooth texture, light flavor of caramel with hops in back. Dry finish.
