Brooklyn Pennant Ale '55


Brooklyn  Pennant Ale '55. 5% alc by vol. Brewed and bottled by The Brooklyn Brewery, Utica, NY.

Clear, amber-hued, slim white head.

Aroma: clean, lightly fruity, lightly hoppy.

On the tongue, a tidy blast of hops, a spritz of citrus zest, and just enough bitterness to keep the hop-addict happy. I'm not 100% sure of the style they're going for here, but I'd guess English pale ale, perhaps. Seems to be some American hops in the mix, too.

Medium/light bodied, easy-drinking, certainly swallowable. ain't nothing wrong with it.

Here's some stuff they say on the website about this one.
