In the book of Exodus, the ancient Hebrews survived 400 years of bondage before the ultimate supreme court dropped the 10 deadly Plagues on the land of the taskmasters and the head dictator, Pharaoh. Even then, only begrudgingly, did he Let My People Go. The freedom ride across, nay through the sea left a band of wandering nomads broke and suffering, no doubt with a profound hunger – and a mighty thirst. Enter the Manna: a glorious gift to nourish body and soul. Manna was said to combine the tastes of everything most delicious to each individual, depending on their desire. And as the Good Book says, Each shall gather according to one’s need and shall enjoy a double portion for thine chosen day of rest. Manna fed the entire tribe, but tradition suggests the righteous received manna ground in a heavenly mill, while the wicked had to grind it below for themselves. Hear o’ Tribe of Shmaltz – Behold: A celebration of the flower of the craft beer revolution! A golden opportunity to feed your inner hop head and rejoice in HOP MANNA, our newest delicacy of the modern He’brew Beer family. L’Chaim! Dry Hopped with Centennial, Cascade and Citra (Centennial and Cascade in Batch 4).

Bottle in NYC. Pours brownish gold with a fine, white foam head. Lots of caramel, brown sugar and leaves in this guy. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Toasty bread. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Some earthy, toasty and piney hops at the end. Might be a little out of shape.

Bomber. Pours a golden amber in color. Massive head with lots o’ lacing. Aroma is big earthy, piney hops and some caramel sweetness. Taste is similar with a dry lingering bitterness. It’s good, but rather average overall; nothing really pops out at me.

Bottle on Amtrak Train 506 between Portland and Seattle (from Binny’s South Loop) 08/11/12. Clear mid amber with a mahoooosive frothy off white head that retains well. Good lacing ensues. Nose is big on caramel malts, pine, hops, mango, caramelised sugars. Tastes of pine, hops, bitter mango, light mineral tones, oranges, sweet caramel. Medium bodied with soft carbonation leading to a bitter sweet finish. Good IPA and this one achieved my target of a new US rate for every hour I intended to spend in the US ! 151.

Draught@Oliver Twist, Stockholm (old backlog). Amber colour, small off-white creamy head. Aroma is caramel malts, toffee, some fruity and floral hoppyness along with mild parfumeish notes. Flavour is zesty, toffeeish, caramelly and quite nice grassy and floral bitterness in the finish.
