Apr 21, 2006 This ale was consumed at the Capital Ale House. It was very disappointing. There was little hops flavors and no citrus. It was rather drab not exciting like other pale ales. The color was dark straw and the head was modest. It was medium to light in body. It did have a smooth finish.

Dec 29, 2003 Pours a translucent ruby-brown with a tall ecru head. Nose seems dominated by malt. The taste is sweet. There is a caramel taste to go with the malt and I cannot detect much in the way of hops. There is a sort of bread dough taste to it as well. The finish has some light bitterness to it but leans towards being semi-sweet. There is almost a plastic or synthetic aftertaste to it which detracts from what is otherwise a good beer.

Nov 23, 2004 It’s from Brooklyn. Great things come from Brooklyn. Okay, this isn’t great but it ain’t bad either. Dark amber color with a light tan head. Malty nose with some floral and some fruit. Nice feel in the mouth. Flavor is nothing extraordinary but it’s good. Some sweetness and maltiness.

Jun 14, 2004 Slightly different from the Lager. Lighter amber color with a small white head. Decent hoppy aroma, malty. Same is true for the flavor. Well-hopped all around. Good beer.

Aug 3, 2005 Bottle 12 oz. Clear amber color with a medium white head that diminished quickly. Medium complex hoppy aroma. Light to medium body. Medium flavor with a short dry finish. An average pale ale.

Oct 22, 2007 12 oz bottle says Pennant Ale ’55; nose of light sweet vanilla and fruit; copper with a medium glass-lacing beige head; flavor is sweet caramel and a little vanilla; finish is sweet fading into a very light hop bitterness. Tastes kind of like some of the English beers I’ve had so if that is what they were trying for they suceeded.

Jun 21, 2009 Officially my go to beer. I have Brooklyn Lager on tap at my bar and it does not sell well (the regular person does not respect beer the way us ratbeer enthusiast’s do) but I am going to get the pennant ale in bottle. Perfect for a sports bar--light enough, smooth, nothing overwhelming in the taste, and of course the baseball logo on the pennant ale emblem--a tribute to the 55’ Brookyln Dodgers. Great beer to keep drinking and drinking and still respect the taste and importance the Brooklyn Brewery emphasizes with their beer.

Sep 11, 2009 Dark amber with a small white head. Aroma holds wheat, biscuit, and some definite notes of some sort of English ale; not a lot of hop present on the nose. Flavor has an interesting balance between flowery hops and a bit of sweet caramel malt. Nothing special, but certainly a serviceable session ale coming from Brooklyn Brewery.
