Our Tastes-- Brooklyn Pennant Ale '55


For some reason I have absolutely got the taste of nothing but Pale Ales and IPAs in my mouth especially after this past week's vacation to Seaside, FL. So I took some of this brew and am just now after getting back actually trying it. This pale ale that's a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Brooklyn Dodgers winning the World Series is a complex grain ale. Made with Maris Otter, Belgian Aromatic and British Crystal malts it had a sweetly biscuit taste. The head is light-flat and hoppiness balanced with Hallertau Perle, Willamette, American Fuggle and Cascade. 5.0%abv and able to be paired with just about anything.
