at a tasting, thanks DSG, clear orange colour with some pinkish streaks, malty aroma with honey and marmalade,flavours of peach, mango and passion fruit, and a strong but mellow bitterness, bitter sour aftertaste. Good but a little too hoppy.

At a tasting, thanks DSG, pours an amazing orange with a medium head, aroma of pineapple, peach, pine and wood, dry flavor with grapefruit, pineapple and bitter finish, medium body, nice.

Bomber. Big malty aroma of caramel, molasses and dry wood. Flavor is the same with more of the earthy malt on the front, joined by some lightly bitter pecan and light cocoa, and then just enough light citrus and woody hop to dry the finish. Deep copper with a long lasting film of creamy bubbles. Medium bodied, sweet, and smooth.

Clear amber color with a thick rocky head. Aroma is bready and herbal, with a hint of fruit. Flavor is moderately bitter. Crisp finish. A good beer.

Tasting - Gulf Brew 2010 - normally I’d have better notes, but the only thing my notes say on this beer is that I’d buy it. I must have enjoyed the look of this pour. I never give anything a 5.

Pours a dark amber color. Has a medium sized off white head. Smells of malts with a little bit of hops mixed in. Taste is similar. Pretty refreshing beer.

$5 220z bomb - My first try Shmaltz Brewing. I was feeling adventurous and gambled on this moderately priced lager (usually would not spend decent money on an individual bottle of lager). You know what, not bad. Refreshing and surprisingly complex flavors. Reminds me of some of the German-style lagers out there. Good summer choice and I might even consider a re-buy in the future.

Big bottle and a small bottle. Dark copper tinted amber with almost a finger of white-ish foam. They pack a lot of ingredients into some of these beers. Kind of a cedary woody malt scent. Lots of spice, caramel, nut, wood and biscuit with a lasting hop aftertaste. Pretty solid.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a medium amber with a nice off-white head that lasts. Aroma of caramel and a bit of hops. Taste is fruity, sweet caramel and hops. Nice blend. Very drinkable lager.

Bottle. Pours a clear copper color with a decent head. Strong malt presence with some yeast as well. Light caramel notes. Malty taste with a caramel presence. Some toffee as well. Interesting mesh. More of an Amber Ale, but still pretty tasty.
