Beer score: 8.5
Company: Brooklyn Brewery
ABV: 5.0
IBU: 24
This beer has a slightly dark, almost burnt blonde color to it in the glass, and a perfect quality beer scent. The Scottish Maris Otter malt brings a solid, almost cake-like sweetness, but it’s a soft sweetness, not overpowering but obviously there. The bitterness is strong at first taste, then fades away a little but returns on the way down. This is one of the most well-balanced beers I’ve tasted, with a perfect mix of hops and malt, and one of the better pale ales from the U.S. The name of this brew comes from the 1955 World Series when the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the Yankees. Also, I've had a number of Brooklyn Brewery beers over the years and I can't ever remember having a bad one, so check them out.
