On tap at Big Pour Mesa. Pours a clear amber with a decent white head. Nose is bops and bitters. Taste is light earthy hops and not much else. Pretty clean finish. Lighter mouth feel. Meh.

Bottled Labeled Brooklyn Pennant Ale ’55 in honor of the dem bums finally winning one. Duke, Campy, Jackie and Gil are put to shame a little with this one - as it won’t be winning any pennants with this average effort. Amber with a large foamy white head gone as fast as the Dodgers in ’57 from Flatbush. Aroma of lemon, pale malt, cereal grains and mild hops. Light nose of sweet malt, lemon, pale malts, caramel. Kind of musty and carbonation feel is a bit too fizzy. Drinkable but only so-so.

Aroma is filled with hops, not too abundant. The appearance is a nice golden color with a decent head. The flavor is full of light fruit esters, and complex malts. It’s hops are ok, but not over the top. A bit of grass or skunk. It’s feel is ordinary, nothing over the top. It’s smooth, a nice session.

Bottle in NYC. Fruity, rich, lovely beer. Prunes, peaches, yet enough bitterness to make this a nice little beer. Bu Brooklyn know their stuff, don’t they?

This beer was smooth and well-balanced. If I am honest (and I am) I did not realize this beer was a pale ale, which is good, since I don’t prefer pale ales. It is malty and quality. Recommended to try on tap especially.
