Commercial Description:
Contract brewed for Schmaltz Brewing Company. Sacred Species No.1 YEAR OF THE FIG Jewish tradition celebrates 2 New years; The 1st calendar month in spring historically came after the barley harvest. The High Holidays in Fall mark the creation of the world. Harvest to harvest - the perfect bookends for deliciousness! Arise noble Rejewvenator, infused for ’08 with the sacred succulent Fig. O the history, O the shtick: Gen 3:7: "And their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked; they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons." Time to get cooking! "Professed Wrestlers and Champions were in times past fed with figs." -Pliny, Roman naturalist. Romulus, mythic founder of Rome, and his twin Remus were nursed by a wild she-wolf under a fig tree. In 1857, Queen Victoria commissioned an 18 inch plaster fig leaf to adorn her cast of Michelangelo’s David. "The statue that advertises its modesty with a fig leaf brings its modesty under suspicion." -Mark Twain. Buddha gained enlightenment meditating beneath a fig tree. Zechariah/Micah: "Nations shall beat their swords into plowshares...all will sit with his neighbor under his fig tree, with no one to be afraid." Fear not Shmaltzers - Grab your Newtons, rub your happy belly, strap on your fig leaf and your championship belt, abd prepare to blow your shofar... tis a new HE’BREW Beer season to rejoice. L’Chaim! Brewed for Schmalt Brewing Co.

Bomber. Clear mahogany red with a thin beige head. Nose is figs and dates, plus brown sugar.Flavor is more of the same, emphasis on the figs, of course, plus a bit of raisin and molasses. Nice brew.

Bottle shared by shigadeyo. Poured dark brown color with an average fizzy off-white head that mostly diminished with good lacing. Moderate dark tart fruit aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium fruity balanced flavor with a medium sweet small alcohol finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

From a 22 oz bottle taken directly from the beer cellar and poured at 55 degrees, this poured a garnet color with a tan head and good lacing rings.s Nose is rich dark ripe fruit with the figs clearly present. Mouthfeel is sticky but still shows carbonation. Flavor is slightly sweet and shows ripe fruit and again the figs. But it is in the finish where the figs really show up and there is a light bitterness that makes this an overall delightful brew to drink.

shouldn’t this be a fruit /veggie ale if it’s infused with fig? pours a dark amber with a thin tan head. aroma is malty and dark fruit alc. More dark fruit carries through into the flavour. malty molasses presence, but not overly toasty or chocolatey. Slight bitterness in the finish.

Bottle. Poured brown with a fizzy off-white head that settles out quick. Aromas of dark fruits and rye. The flavor finds more dark fruits with a strange mix of malts. Medium body with lively carbonation. Dry, sweet up front and a hoppy bitter ending.
