Our First Creation. Crisp, smooth and perfectly balanced between a west coast style pale and amber ale, with a supple malt sweetness and a pronounced hop flourish.

This ale pours a cloudy dark amber colour with a almost creamy head. The aroma included corn syrup, sugar and malt with a hit of metallic. Initial sip had a strong bitter flavour with almost a buttery flavour. A thick creamy ale. The finish was very hoppy. And palate was the same....became better tasting the warmer it got.

An amber beer with a fine beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel and fruit. The flavor is of roasted bread and caramel. It is very nicely hopped both aroma and bitter which gives it a lovely bitter end. A nice flavor.

Clear amber colour with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of sweet english malt dominate the aroma with the slightest of hints towards hops. Medium-bodied; Strong maltiness in the taste as well as a bit of the alcohol showing through , fading again with the most minimal amount of hops. Aftertaste bittered a bit from the malt, but actually fairly bland. Overall, this is a step better than the other Hebrew beer I've had, but still not a great beer. Try this if you are jewish, as it is overseen by a rabbi (or whatever), but don't expect it to be a beer that you would want to drink all the time! I bought my twelve ounce bottle from Beers of the World in Rochester, New York and sampled it on 10-September-2003.

Unusual and somewhat humorous marketing strategy behind this beer but otherwise, this is a nice American Pale Ale. Firmly bitter with spicy hop flavors and aroma. Enough malt to keep it balanced. Very drinkable.
