chrissy (52), Connecticut, USA May 3, 2008 Bottle. An easy drinking ale. clean and crisp. Bitter taste with no strong aftertaste present. A nice aroma and very enjoyable. matt7215 (403), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada May 3, 2008 12 oz bottle from a trade with Bungalo22. my bottle was the Brooklyn Pennant ’55 Ale version. poured copper with a small head. nice bicuit aroams accompanied by some fruitiness. flavours are nice and malty without being overly sweet. hops are there to balance things but play no major role in aroma or flavour. a decent brew but nothing ill go out of my way to get. yesyouam (279), Fairport, New York, USA May 3, 2008 Brooklyn Pennant Pale Ale ’55 is a dense amber ale with a small, dense, frothy off-white head that fades to a thin film with oily bubbles. It has nice dense lacing. (I just used the word "dense" three times in describing this beer’s appearance.) It has a smooth malty aroma with some spicy hops in it. The body is medium-light, foamy and pretty smooth. The flavor is well balanced, crisp and resiny. The bitterness is ample with a soft spice. The aftertaste is resiny with a touch of wood and leather. It’s a nice, well rounded session ale. 17thfloor (444), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 29, 2008 Pours thin dark amber with big bubbles and a lovely creamy white froth. Smells very English. Sour biscuity malt aroma. Rich English malt flavor with just the right touch of hops to accent it. Slightly sweet slightly fruity and slightly bitter. Medium body and fine carbonation. Good stuff and yea very balanced. weezfour (63), Oradell, New Jersey, USA Apr 27, 2008 Solid session beer. Had this under the moniker of "Pennant Ale". Nice lacey head, clean and crisp, smooth finish. Gimme more.
