Brooklyn Ale

Comments A amber beer with a fine head. A nice malty sweet aroma. And a filling nice malt sweet and slightly bitter beer. A great pale ale.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Dark amber, moderat off-white head. Fresh nose of malt and fruits with a fine, discreet hoppy aroma. Very pleasant and quaffable. Awakes nice memories of last years "Brooklyn Pig Fest" where this was a favourite. Thanx Garrett.

Bottled. Clear reddish brown. Caramelly and clean. Boring brief caramel flavour followed by a short finish with low bitterness. Lifeless and industrial. Is it just me or has this brewery gone downhill?

Bottle. Label "Brooklyn Pennant Ale ’55". Clear dark amber body with a thin off white head. Sweet caramel / malt aroma. Sweet caramel flavor with some light floral hops.

Bottled (as pennant ale 55). Dark amber colour, small white head. Aroma is caramel, grass and hops. Flavour is the same along with some raisins and even alcohol. The hoppiness grows a lot in the finish. Very pleasant product.

Bottle. Slightly hoppy aroma. Copper colour, small head. Light flavour, fruity and refreshing.

Bottled. Orange coloured with an off white head. Sweet aroma of caramel and malts with fruity notes. Flavour of caramel, fruits and pine needles. Hoppy finish.
