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.

A medium and ordinary ale from this highquality brewery. High drinkability and not so much challenge in this brew. Sweetmalted aroma and almost the same in the flavor. Let’s call it a sessionbeer!

(Bottle) Nice aroma with malty notes of caramel, toffee, cookies and a light fruityness. Notes of toasted bread and just a touch of hops. Malty, light fruity flavour with light bitter and sour notes. Light to medium dry with a pretty light body. Hints of toasted bread and maybe somting citrusy.
