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.

Draft @ Monster B’s. Golden with a white head. I didn’t really get a distinct hops or malt flavor, but I felt like I was eating beer soaked sourdough bread. Not bad, thick among taste for a pale ale.

From a bottle poured brown with a good amount of head. Nice malty/hoppy flavor, with a lasting finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small frothy white head that leaves decent spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is a light malt with raisin and caramel. The taste is a grain malt with a bit of citrus on the finish. Has more of an amber taste than an english pale ale but still decent from Brooklyn.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep copper color with a fluffy white head. The head lasts a long time. Refreshing hop aroma. Light nose, but good notes of pine, some peach, and a hint of a metallic note. Low carbonation and a rich mouthfeel. Slightly dry. Biscuit notes with a bit of citrus on the palate. Solid bitterness and a touch of sourness. Finishes very clean. A pretty solid beer with multiple layers of flavor.

Has a typical light gold color. Smells of malts and hops. Taste is pretty good on this one. Has a slight sweetness that blends perfectly with the malts to kind of tone down the malty flavor. A pretty decent ale.

Basic English Pale Ale with bready malts, soft hops and some spice. Not bad.

This had a nice flavor, just not a lot of it. Probs wouldn’t grab this one unless it was a lone micro representative, which I think would be uncommon for this brew. Good, but didn’t light this cowboy’s fire.
