COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An IPA brewed with Lager Yeast.
Shmaltz Brewing Company unveils a stunning spectacle: the delicate balance of 8 hops gracefully thrust into the inner sanctum of 4 luscious malts astonishing in depth, dazzling in mouthfeel. A scintillating brewing performance.

Drake (5232) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - JUN 30, 2008
Bottle from Wine Warehouse. Amber color with a medium quickly disappearing head. Nice floral, pine hop aroma with sweetness to balance. Taste is a slightly metallic take on the same. Medium body. Not bad.

Pours clear golden with white head. Grassy aroma. Flavor is slightly bitter and malty with some alcohol and a metallic taste. Body is pretty full for a lager. Moderate carbonation. An OK lager.

hopscotch (7529) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - JUN 28, 2008
Bottle... Clear golden ale with a big, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. Spicy and peppery, metallic nose. Medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Medium to heavy metallic bitterness. Lengthy, bitter, nickel/steel finish. Appropriately named!

thegreenrooster (2525) - St.louis, Missouri, USA - JUN 28, 2008
Pour is a bright golden with a large white head. Aroma is of crisp floral hops and a good helping of malts. Flavor is biscuit malts with some grain and a bit of pepper. Finish is thick with a bit of the alcohol. Basically its just a heavier lager but it does work. Good enough for a try.

notalush (3742) - Denver, Colorado, USA - JUN 28, 2008
I’ve really enjoyed these coney island lager products...until now - this one just doesn’t come together very well - fizzy clear golden beer - minimal head - the aroma is promising, with complex, hearty grains and sweet malts that give the impression of bread drizzled with honey - some bright fruity character underneath - fairly smooth mouthfeel - a little syrupy, though - there is a lot of honey sweetness up front, and fairly strong grain flavors, which are followed by somewhat potent bitterness - they used far too many different hops in this one, and it results in a hop flavor that is neither well-balanced, nor well integrated - this, coupled with the high sweetness, results in a beer that pulls off the astounding feat of being both too sweet and too bitter at the same time - I suppose I should give them props for that - thanks, schmaltz!

graham515 (536) - Houston, Texas, USA - JUN 27, 2008
Pours a deep amber into the glass with white head. Aroma is very hoppy from the dry hop additions. Flavor is hoppy but with very little bitterness to it. Mostly floral tastes. Mouthfeel is exceptionally smooth

KAF (447) - Coralville, Iowa, USA - JUN 27, 2008
Deep golden pour with a thin white head that disipates quickly. Some lacing. Dry hopped nose. A hoppy grain flavor.

moelikebeer (221) - St. Paul, Minnesota, USA - JUN 25, 2008
Bottle. Clear, light golden orange pour with very little head. Aroma of sweet malt and hops. Medium bitter hop flavor, but still very drinkable.

nearbeer (2656) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - JUN 25, 2008
650 ml. Hazy, golden-pear colored with a small, lasting head. Aroma is spicy peaches and grain. Flavor is earthy-spicy fruit turning to lemongrass and alcohol on the finish. Light body is smoothish on front, then fizzy and crisply dry on the finish.
