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.

BroSpud (1124) - , Massachusetts, USA - FEB 2, 2012
12oz bottle labeled as "Pennant 55" Ale. Medium amber pour with very little head and low carbonation. The hops are pretty much overpowered by the malt flavors with this one but it is drinkable if not very memorable.

Pours amber with a two finger head. Some lacing. Low carbonation. Smells like caramel, malts, and a hint of floral hops. Taste like sweet malts, with citrus and caramel notes. Not much of a hop presence in the taste. Texture is thin and watery, and taste is flat. I am not too crazy about this, but it is more interesting than a pale lager and goes down easy.

Bottle. Pours a reddish amber. Medium off white head that quickly dissipates to a light filmy finish. Mild bready aroma. Flavor is also bready with some caramel and lots of malt. Dry finish. Bought as a single. Turned out to be different then I thought based on the name, but it was a pleasant suprise. This one was probabaly a bit past its prime, but still ok. I would drink it again.
