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!

This bottled brew from a rating party at Patrick’s poured a small sized head of foamy fine to medium sized off-white colored bubbles that were and left behind a transparent uncarbonated red brown colored body and a poor lacing. The aroma was musty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt mild hops and sweet. A decent one that I would consider having again.

2008 Year of the Fig / Sacred Series No. 1

9/04/2008: He’Brew Rejewvenator 2008 pours out in a golden brown stream and is mostly clear with a small dark beige head. The aroma has toffee malt, a vibrant fruitiness (figs, of course!), and a hint of apple leather. The semi-sweet flavor contains cherry, caramel, aged or baked fruits, and is malty with and earthy hop presence. The beer has a medium body and is slightly chewy. Overall it this is a good beer, but not overly interesting. I am slightly disappointed as I was really hoping for more...

22 fl. oz. bottle (7.8% Alc by Vol.) from Rozi’s Wine House in Lakewood/Cleveland, Ohio. Rating #203 for this beer.

Dark ruby amber with nice off-white head. Little soapy smell. Bread, malt. Not a whole lot going on here. Figgy caramel prune taste. Hints of plum, wine, and dark fruit. Not much hop character. Would neither buy another one, nor recommend.

Pours clear dark brown with a tan head. Fruity sweet malt aroma. The flavor follows the aroma.
