▪️Brewer: @BrooklynBrewery (Brooklyn, NY)
▪️Beer: Pennant Ale '55
▪️Style: English Pale Ale
▪️Alc. Content: 5.0% ABV (24 IBU)
▪️The Verdict: I'm not gonna lie, this winter was rough on me, but with the weather finally turning, it's time to report to Spring Training. I might've shown up looking like a white, slightly more athletic Pablo Sandoval who can actually touch his toes, but that didn't stop me from polishing off a few of this week's craft beer, Brooklyn Brewery's Pennant Ale '55. This beer commemorates the Brooklyn Dodgers World Series upset over the NY Yankees in 1955. Anytime we can celebrate a Yankee's loss is good in my book. This English Style Pale Ale is solid prospect in Brooklyn's deep farm system. Pennant pours a beautiful amber color and right off the bat you get hints of caramel and a biscuity notes. The full malt flavor is balanced with a clean hop background. Pennant Ale utilizes English hops which provide moderate bitterness. It's no all-star but and if I had to make an MLB comparable id say it's the Paul O'Neil of beers; it's not flashy but it gets the job done. The superior drinkability of this brew makes this a session-able ale that even Wade Boggs would be proud of... And if it's good enough for Wade Boggs it's good enough for me. ▪️M&F Rating: 7.6
