Commercial Description:
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!

22oz bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. A slightly hazed, dark amber pour. Light carbonation giving way to decent lacing on the Trappist. Nice nutty, and slightly sweet aroma. A sweet and malty finish, an underrated beer IMO.

Ruby colored, moderate head, decent lacing and retention. Aroma is sweet malts, some darker fruit notes, earth. Medium bodied, quite sweet but not overly so. Overall its OK I guess...

Clear deep red-brown pour with a medium foamy white head. Sweet fruity malt aroma. Lots of caramel malt in the flavor, with a hint of figs and hops. A nice brew.

More of a Scottish ale than a strong american. Incredibly good balance of hops and malt. Hint of honey and figs? Sampled at the St. Pete Florida Craft Beer Fest.

This American Strong Ale pours a deep reddish copper color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel malts, figs and some other dark fruits. A medium bodied Strong Ale. The malts are caramel and fruity. The hops are earthy and slightly spicy. The fig and raisin flavors are fairly prominent, but it’s not overly sweet or over the tops. Nice balance. Very smooth taste. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is ful and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
