| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 28, 2008 Bottle as Pennant Ale ’55 from Vintage Cellar. Poured a slightly hazy amber with a minimal white head. Aromas of dust, lightly roasted caramel and some lightly spicy hop. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is lightly roasted malt, "biscuity" seems appropriate, and a very light bitter. Fairly tasty, but not all that exciting. ucusty (1912), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 27, 2008 Poured a nice dark amber color with very little head. Had a smooth, but under-hopped taste. Its mild bitterness was accompanied buy sweet notes. It finished smooth and not dry, a nice summer beer. nqualls (1428), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 25, 2008 Good session type beer. Biscuit aroma with malty flavor. Smooth beer. Easy to drink on a hot summer day. Wouldn’t rank it high on the IPA list, but easily drinkable. Capa (993), Yokosuka, Japan
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 18, 2008 Mild spices, ratehr earthy, and some sweet malts in this English PA. I thought the earth tones were a bit overdone, but it is in the English style, so maybe it fits. This is OK, but I got tired of it pretty quick.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 9, 2008 Updated: Apr 9, 2009Labeled Pennant Ale. Not a fan of English pale ales at all. More malt than hops in this, but not too much of anything. Caramel malty flavor like a bitter or ESB. Crisp finish. Pretty drinkable though.
