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! Brewed for Schmalt Brewing Co.

Bomber pours a clear mahogany body with a decent offwhite head that has some canary hued accents. Aroma is molasses, spicy hops, and blueberries. The figs emerge as it warms. Slightly chewy on the palate, with some unwelcome alcohol hotness. Taste is malty and fruity, with molasses and Fig Newtons dominating. Spicy hops and hot alcohol also present. I generally give high marks to the Shmaltz beers but I’ll pass on this one.

<b>Bottle (22oz)</b> <i>My bottle shared with blankboy, garthicus, GregClow and tupalev</i>. I’ll be honest, we got to talking and my notes are pretty thin, but ... Clear red-amber with an average off-white head. Slightly milky aroma, mostly sweet and floral. Sweet and floral and a little boozy in the taste - actually seems a tad syrupy - not bad, but not something I’d want again. Sticky; sugary; not bitter enough by a long shot to balance itself.

Actually really liked this one. Brownish with a large head. Fruity aroma and definite malty aroma as well. Could taste the fruit, especially figs, as a I drank it. Liked the malty flavor. Very different, but I liked it!

bomber. average fizzy (quickly dissapating) khaki head into hazy brownish-orange bodywith minimal lacing. aromas of ripe fruit, chocolate, brown sugar, light alcohol, and some spices. flavor is initially moderate bitter sweet and finishes light sweet. lively carbonation. moderate finish duration. almost dry texture. a bit weird but still quite enjoyable.
