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).

12 oz. bottle from Whole Foods in Monterey, CA. Pours amber with a 3 finger foamy/creamy beige head. Aroma is citrus/floral. Med body. Flavor is citrus/floral/earthy with perhaps even a light touch of pine. Herb aspect. Nice malt backbone which manages to lend a little sweet despite all the hop. It’s pretty delicious stuff.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours amber with a 2 finger frothy whitish head. Lots of resin over mildly roasted caramel for aroma. Med body. Flavor is nicely resin. A little simple compare to FW XV, but an incredibly good IPA. This should go Imperial as soon as can be.

Pour is a hazy copper with a small white head, Aroma is nicely hopped with a decent pine resin. Flavor is also decently hopped but not overly so. The malts are just barely there but do leave a nice dry cracker on the tounge. Decent beer and at a nice price.
