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.

Jul 30, 2008 12 oz bottle labeled as Pennant Ale. Mild hop aromas, and I think even less on the flavor. I had expected more, but now I see that this is an English Pale Ale. Not to bad. Decent finish. Crisp and refreshing.

Jul 28, 2008 Had this on tap in Rye Brook N.Y.
It felt it a bit obnoxious, overbearing and insistant upon itself. Much like the people at the bar. Not a fan....sorry!

Jul 27, 2008 Bottle at Newark airport.
Pour orange/amber with light white head.
Aroma is malty and earthly yeast.
Taste is malt / caramel, crisp and dry finish, hoppy leaving you with a pislner aftertaste.
Drinkable but really nothing special about this beer.

Jul 22, 2008 On tap at Oldsmar Tap House (Tampa, FL). Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with one finger white head. Aroma is wheat, grain, sweet malts, wet dog. Flavor has notes of wet straw, grass, hops with hints of fruit and flowers. Light bodied with a quick, slightly bitter finish.

Jul 20, 2008 Aroma is earthy pungent english style hops with some citrus overtones. flavor is balaned, but a little one dimentional. just earthy hops and a bit of malt. probably the kind of beer that really shoudl just be served on handpump, because it was unimpressive from the bottle.

Jul 11, 2008 12 oz. "Pennant Ale ’55," best by Oct. 08. Nice amber ale color, spongy tan head. Smell is of caramel malts. Taste is sharp with spicy, mostly English hop matched to crystal toasted malts. No ale-type esters, in fact this suggests some cold lagering. Bit of an alt profile toward the end.

Jul 6, 2008 Decent example of the style but just way to dry and soapy for my tastes. One and done.
