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.

On tap at the brewery. Poured golden with a diminishing white head. Piney nose, malty flavor. A solid beer.

I love the fact that I can get the Pennant Ale ’55 at the bodega across the street from my house. This is a great, light ale and goes well with BBQ.

Pours a clear golden color, head has little retention. A unique ale, hints of some caramel and citrus.

12oz bottle. Still under the ’55 label. Filtered and deep amber. Minimal head. Citrus aromas. Bready malts and sugary aromas. Medium bodied and dry. Good malt cereal flavors. Nice palate. Touch fruity undertones. Crisp and off-dry finish. Full lingering orange grapefruit hop finish. Easy and totally quaffable.

Draft. The aroma is mild, just a little bit of sweet malt. The flavor is similar but very dry, and it also has some prominent fruity flavors. Not very good for an english pale ale.

Clear brassy-golden body with a standard sudsy white head. English malt signatures of caramelized fruit, plus mild diacetyl and a very modest hop profile. Medium sticky malt flavor and moderate bitterness in the finish. Delicate beer with an obvious English ale inspiration. Seems aimed somewhere in the realm of Bass Ale. Fair product overall.
