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. (aka Brooklyn Ale)

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Best before March of 2012. Pours a light amber with almost a half finger of white head. Aroma of caramel, green apple and light citrus hops. Taste is light bitter and light sour. Green apple and citrus. Light bodied with a somewhat slick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. I would like to try a fresh one just to see the difference.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker at Junior’s in Time Square. Pours clear light amber with one and a half inch off-white head that dissapates fairly quickly. Some small bubble lacing, medium/light body, and medium carbonation. Taste is light toasty caramel malt and finishes with some lightly bitter hops. Somewhere between an English pale ale and just a regular stock ale (hops are pretty subdued).

bottle - Pours clear light amber with a two finger head. The aroma is simply caramel malt. The flavor is of toasted caramel malt with some mild hops bitterness. It’s light to medium bodied and an okay brew overall.

Bottle at little town NYC, paired with some crazy heart stopping dish called the garbage plate. Pours a clear amber with thin head. Tastes of caramel, brown sugar, earth, malts, and light hops. A decent standard ale.
