Commercial Description:
Formerly known as Pennant Ale '55...Brooklyn Pennant Pale Ale '55 is a classic English pale ale, brewed with the prized Maris Otter Malt and Fuggles, Willamette and Cascade hops. Maris Otter is an old malt variety that yields an incomparable biscuity flavor. Pennant is chesnut-colored, medium in body with a hearty malt palate and smooth hop finish. This beer is a tribute to Brooklyn’s world champion baseball team.

One of Brooklyn’s better beers. Well-balanced with malt and hop flavors getting equal billing. They didn’t overdo anything here.

Poured a pale golden color with a creamy white head. Citrusy aromas along with some hops. Flavor is similar, mainly hoppy. Nice palate. Crisp and refreshing without being too light.

On tap at the KSBF ’08 as Brooklyn Pennant Ale ’55. Hazy gold body with a small head. Nose of citrus. Fairly bland caramel flavor with a hint of soapiness. Nothing special.

Bottled. Brooklyn Pennant Ale is a clear amber color with a small head in relation to the large amount of carbonation. The aroma and flavor are clean with high notes of caramel. The malty base gives this ale a smooth finish which leads to a very drinkable beer. This is a great beer ot drink when others are pounding american macros.

Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma with a bit of hops. The flavor has biscuity and caramel malt and earthy hops. Not bad.

Pours a gold/amber with a thin white head. Well balanced, and a decent amount of hops. Nice little bit of bitterness. Solid beer.
