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)

Hazy amber body, thin off-white head. Nutty, biscuity, grassy nose. Grassy, herbal hops body with nutty notes and breads, light sweetness. Rather light body overall, but with a decent bite on the front of the tongue.

Bottle. An orange juice, spice and cream aroma. Orange brown color - slightly cloudy with little head. Sour orange and light malt flavor - mild hops finish. Body on the weak side. Different - a bit too fruity for an ale for me.

Bottle. Pours a nice copper colour. Head is white and disappears quickly. Malty in the aroma, some fruits in the aroma aswell. You have the malt in the taste too and caramel. The hops are there in the background. Has a smooth hoppy aftertaste.

2004 bottle. Dark chestnut brown, with light auburn tinges and a moderate amount of beige-flecked-white head, moderate retention. Initially full/intense aroma of caramel/maris otter malt. Sweet and clean, with lightly dry earthiness/toastiness. Easygoing hops in the background are leafy and lightly dry. Flavor is bubble-gum, toffee, dates (heavily), slight alcohol dryness. Low bitterness, light fuggles nuances. Good notes of cherry, though it is faint and deeply in the background. Very English, yet very clean on the end, with just a slight touch of hard water. Flowery hops play, well-behavedly, with toffee and everyone is happy. Medium body, low carbonation and no thinning. Coffee comes forth, lightly, as it warms. . .yes, coffee it is for sure. Slight sediment in the bottle.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Dark amber, moderat off-white head. Fresh nose of malt and fruits with a fine, discreet hoppy aroma. Very pleasant and quaffable. Awakes nice memories of last years "Brooklyn Pig Fest" where this was a favourite. Thanx Garrett.

Bottle. Appearance: medium copper, small head that fades quickly. Smell is sweet malty, a bit earthy/dirty. Flavor is earthy/dirty/grassy/slightly malty. Nothing special or even tasty here. Drinkable, but why bother? Not the best offering by Brooklyn.
