Attractive red copper color; honey-sweet aroma and flavor with only the slightest hint of any hops. Finishes sweet and a bit cloying. Not bad but leans toward being kind of syrupy.

Amber with a bready aroma sprinkled with accents of light citrus hops. Juicy body with a fruity, biscuity flavor. Quick, dry finish with a fresh bread aftertaste accompanied with a tangy, sour note.

I liked this pale ale alot. It was very clean and crisp the hops and malts complemented each other well. Id like to try it when i wasnt as drunk to get a better read.

Bottle. Pours golden amber with off-white head. I got a lot of English yeast, too much yeast imo, in the flavor and aroma, and this obscured some of the other aromas and flavors. Asside from super yeasty, I found it a bit earthy, and while drinkable, I wouldn’t go out of my way for any in the future (unless they do a different recipe).

Bottle: Pennant Ale ’55. Little beige, short lasting and totally diminishing head. Pale amber colour. Floral and hoppy aroma with caramel and some roasted malt. Flavour of malt with notes of oranges. Mild sweetness. Light to medium bodied. Little bitter finish. OK - but not unique.

12oz bottle. Pours a honey amber body with a slightly larger than 1 finger, soapy looking dirty white head. On the nose we have floral hops, citrus rinds and dishwater. Also get some sweet grains. Tastes of citrus, floral hops, dough and grains. Heavily astringent on the tongue. Medium to light bodied, oily palate. Finish is slighty bitter, spicy and of medium length. Unremarkable but unoffensive.

Draft. Aroma: Biscuity malts and yeasty dough. Caramel, lightly toasted nuts. Citrus, light pine, floral, and herbal hop notes. Appearance: Medium copper in color and clear. Off-white head was small and foamy with fair retention. Fair retention. Flavor: Biscuity and bready maltiness with light notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted nuts. Citrus hops are the most noticeable, but notes of pine, floral, and herbal follow behind. Light bitterness and a lightly sweet finish. Palate: Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Overall: Nice, drinkable beer. Well balnced. Very sessionable.
