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).

Total Wine, Fairfax 650ml ($5): Pours a copper color with a nice big head. Aroma is citrus hops, grapefruit-like: very west-coast, but not extreme. Taste is similar. Medium body. Proper carbonation. Relatively easy-drinking. Hoppiness is moderate. Bitterness is present. Aftertaste is acceptable. Beer is good.

Tasting at Papsø’s
Hazy light amber color with medium sized head. The hop aroma is pungent and earthy, resins and some manure, before the hops. It has a good body, with toffee flavor, a bit cloying like many double IPAs; strong bitterness, strong hop resins presence, earthy, fruits (mostly bitter oranges) and no real freshness.
Powerful, but heavy to drink.
