Aug 2, 2003 This bottle still says "Pennant Pale Ale". Apparently, it's got a drink by date of April 2002. Pulled this orphan out of the walk-in cooler. Surprisingly it tastes very good for a beer that is supposed to be more than a year outdated. Looks almost like a Brownie. Aroma is very malty. Taste is somewhat caramel-chocolate. The hops are subtle, which is fine by me. I like this one!

Sep 2, 2002 What a surprise! I had no idea this beer was so good. Fairly sourish. Nice balance. Huge malts and lightly hopped.

Dec 20, 2002 Truly an authentic English PA. Wow, those Maris Otter have that unmistakeable tang, even for a lowbrow palate like mine. I completely love that stuff. Same as in Swale’s Indian Summer Pale Ale, I believe. Yum. Hopped just right. In my opinion, with a beer like this it’s not...sweetish malt component plus (piney/citrus/fruity/earthy) hop component, the entire deal is unified. Delicious.

Aug 14, 2007 Pale ale worthy of purchasing an entire case; malty and just the right amount of hops to this brew; crisp and quite refreshing; a very grown-up version of the pale ale style. A good beer you can have for lunch!

Aug 13, 2004 This is a nice, hearty ale with looks that will scare off other ales and a crisp flavor and feel. It’s sort of a hybrid ale/pale ale I suppose, but it’s quite a decent brew.
