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)

Bottled (as pennant ale 55). Dark amber colour, small white head. Aroma is caramel, grass and hops. Flavour is the same along with some raisins and even alcohol. The hoppiness grows a lot in the finish. Very pleasant product.

Pop the lid for an aroma reminesent of uncleaned showers that may have mold growing in there. Don’t ask me how I know. Pour is a little darker and more brown than the ubiquitous pale yellow american beer. However, this color is more like Yuengling lager than a dark beer. About as good as flavor goes when compared to other EPA that I have tasted. I must say tho this is better than Saranac Pale Ale. Not bad for a backup but too muchfor a session. Finish is not oppresive and I don’t think I can detect much bitterness on the finsh. The finish does have a sort of hoppy bite forming some kind of odd fruit impact on the back of the throat that hangs for a while.

Bottled as Pennant Ale 55. Slightly hazy, orange-brown ale with a small off-white head. Fruits, caramel, yeast-notes and apples in the aroma. The flavor has fruityness, caramel, some hops and spicyness. Medium body and a fruity and hoppy finish. A really nice beer, hoppy and fruity, but it doesn’t stand out from the crowd. (060819)

Amber beer with a medium lasting white head. Flowers and honey aroma. Dry flavour dominated by caramel, with some hops and bitterness in the finish.
Cask at GBBF 2011. Much the same notes and same character. Fruity and floral with caramel maltiness
