3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 thedm (4126) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - SEP 2, 2009
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.

Fruity sweet malt aroma.
The flavor follows the aroma.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 GregClow (2667) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 2, 2009
Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, blankboy & tupalev - HogTownHarry’s bottle. Ruby-brown with a small cream-coloured head. Aroma is quite sweet with burnt sugar and malt, and some nice green hops around the edges. Flavour is big and fairly well balanced, sweet and fruity, but nicely hopped in the finish. I bit less exciting that I hoped/expected, but still enjoyable.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 Glouglouburp (4783) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JUL 1, 2009
In short: A boring alcoholised bottle figs/raisins juice with bubbles
How: Bottle 22oz. Consumed relatively fresh about four months after purchase.
The look: Ruby body topped by a beige ring of foam
In long: Nose of hard candies, figs and raisins. Taste is pretty much what the label on the bottle implies. This is figs/raisins concentrate juice with bubbles and alcohol. Sweetness level is medium-high. The little hops I could notice (very little) provide a little tobacco component but that’s about it. This is not poorly executed but this is just too boring by nature to be enjoyable. Yet another ordinary jewish brew from this brewery that likes to make funny play on words with “jew”. I find that juvenile, very jewvenile.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 WisconsinBeer (666) - St. Paul, Minnesota, USA - JUL 1, 2009
Bottle. Pours a deep brown, decent head. Flavor is earthy and a bit sweet, noticable fig presence along with some roasted malts and caramelized sugars. Belgian yeast type notes also present giving it a sort of funk. Medium bodied on the palate, somewhat viscous and smooth. Leaves a lingering syrup note on the palate. Not a bad brew at all.
