Bottled. Pale amber. Sweet, mellow and papery with a hint of acidity. Low bitterness. Useless.

Bottled. Mahogany colour. Chocolatey, lemony aroma. Sweet, mild and clean with some acidity. Not very convincing.

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.

Dark brown in colour with a strong ruby highlight when held up to a light. Thick tan head that stays for a while, and the whole beer looks like a Root Beer Float! Smells of malt, a bit of candy and some macro-brew funk. Medium-bodied; Malty taste (on the sweeter side) with hints of candy, a VERY small amount of fruit and a bit watery. Aftertaste only showcases a bit of the malt and nothing else than that. Simply a beer that isn't in the top flight. Not a great beer for the style, and not one that I would buy again. Try beers by the 'real' brewer: Anderson Valley and you'll like those MUCH better! Pass this one up for something else! I bought my twelve ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.

Perfumed aroma. Completely black, bad head retention. Burned coffee aromas, which are comepletely overwhelmed by flowery hops. I am not too thrilled about the balance. Medium body and a aftertaste which slowly turns into something soapy and nauseating.

I believe Dabosk has something to say about this beer.......................

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.
