Brooklyn Pennant Ale is a honey-colored pale ale with a brisk malt palage and finely balanced hop character. Pennant is a traditional English-style pale ale. The pale ale style developed in the early 19th century, and was called "pale" because it appeared so in comparison to the darker ale styles of the day. Brooklyn Pennant Ale is brewed from Scottish Maris Otter malt, which is justly prized for its toasty, biscuity flavor and the round smoothness it imparts to beer.

Best With: 
Brooklyn Pennant Ale is great with pizza, roasted and grilled meats, burgers, barbecue, robust fish, shellfish, falafel, crab cakes, and spicy food. Caramel malts lend it the ability to work nicely with steaks, but just as well with grilled vegetables.

Overall Impression:
Bought this in a 6 pack off the rack, not chilled, at a local store. Tried the first one after 1.5 hours in fridge and it was good, the second one is properly chilled now and it is delicious.
Comments:
I wish I had waited for the first one to get colder, but even still it had a great taste. Properly chilled, this is a fantastic ale that favors malt over hops, which is a preference for me. Easy drinkability. I'd rate this a B+ but after a couple more it could go to an A-!!!! Cheers!
