Ta Henket is brewed with an ancient form of wheat and loaves of hearth-baked bread, and it's flavored with chamomile, doum-palm fruit and Middle Eastern herbs. To ferment this earthy ancient ale, Sam and friends traveled to Cairo, set out baited petri dishes and captured a native Egyptian saccharomyces yeast strain. "It was the strangest picnic I've ever been on," he said.
We first brewed Ta Hanket as an addition to our Ancient Ales lineup in late 2010. It enjoyed a full bottled release in December 2011.

clear off gold. Some weird fruitness and wheatiness. Interesting as an exbeerimetn i guess.

Weird aroma, nutty, grassy, and green tea. Flavour is all honey, chamomille, and green tea. Spicy, cinnamon fish. Odd.

Pours a hazy amber from a bottle. Aroma is a floral sweetness, and a sort of musky spiciness. Flavor is sweet like honey with some bitter almond. Good beer.

On tap at the brewpub on 03/26/2011. Slightly hazy golden body with a small white head. Sweet spice, chamomile and light fruit aroma with pepper notes. Dry grainy spice and pepper flavor with light fruit hints. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Bottle, 75cl. An almost clear one, golden in color and with a white head. Spiced aroma with some cellar notes and dried fruits. Berry hints, Medium to full body, very soft on the palate. Some tea hints. The flavor has pale malt notes, dried fruits and tea. Herbs. Well, it’s interesting, that’s for sure, but it’s definitely not my kind of beer, sort of blending good and bad beer. 130804

Bottle 750ml @ Hotel Room, Hotel Whitcomb, San Francisco, CA
Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, tea, chamomile, cinnamon, floral and spices. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with a floral and spicey tea finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

Clear golden coloured body with a copper and orange glow and a very thin head. Aroma of alcohol, honey, chamomile, flowers, light spices and a hint of lemons - not much z’atar in the nose at all. Light-bodied; Assertive effervescence with a little fruit flavour at first, some very light malt and a tiny sweetness - not much grassiness or spices at all. Aftertaste is showing mostly the light malt, sweetness and a hint of alcohol - the rest of the complexity is lost. Overall, an interesting beer for sure, and thanks DogFish for trying a ’different’ beer, but this one is executed very poorly. I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Wegman’s in Fairfax, Virginia yesterday on 20-April-2013 for US$8.99 and sampled at home in Washington on 21-April-2013.

A sour and fruity flavor with a watery aftertaste. Amber in color with a white head.

Draft @ The Pressroom Portsmouth, NH. Pint showed me a nearly clear gold color n o head with low carbonation. I have no idea what zatar and dom-palm fruit is. I had to look up Zatar which is actually spelled Za’atar and is a Middle Eastern Spice mix. Nose is light chamomile essence and a very strange funk. Taste is funky wheat, honey, chamomile and that odd Za’atar. Very herbal after taste. It did remind me of a few food items I had while being deployed to the Middle East and honestly that’s not a good thing. The herbs and flat carbonation turn me off a lot. I normally can finish any beer I order, except this one. I left half of it at the bar. I thought it was horrible.
