He’Brew Miraculous Jewbelation 8

He’Brew Miraculous Jewbelation 8

The back story to this beer is that I missed out on it when it was first released (late 2004), but subsequently enjoyed many of the other Jewbelation offerings. As a result, for many years this was on my 'Want List' on beeradvocate. It was after I...

(A Beer For Hope) Reunion Ale ’12

(A Beer For Hope) Reunion Ale ’12

'A Beer For Hope', the third year that Terrapin has been involved in the Reunion Project. Nice work. The usual Terrapin bomber presentation with gold foil on the neck, this one goes into the Terrapin snifter. Lots of large bubbles cling to the side...

Hop Manna IPA

Hop Manna IPA

I have to say that I approach Hop Manna with a little trepidation, since although I generally have really enjoyed Shmaltz beers over the years, all of their power seems to have been wielded at the malt end of the spectrum and not with hops. That's...

Genesis 15:15 Barrel Aged Harvest Barleywine Ale

Genesis 15:15 Barrel Aged Harvest Barleywine Ale

Batch 001, 791 cases, bottling date 9/7/2011 all noted in detail on the neck label. 22oz bottle from Mac's Midtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Shmaltz is a brewer I have come to enjoy very much, if for no other reason than the fact that they generally favor...

(A Beer For Hope) Reunion Ale ’11

(A Beer For Hope) Reunion Ale ’11

Another beer in the charitable, reunion series. 22 oz bottle. A 'Dark Imperial Ale' whatever THAT is! This is the Shmaltz version. This should be interesting since Shmaltz is one of my favorite brewers with their malt based offerings, and...

He’Brew Jewbelation Fourteen

22 oz bottle, Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. In general I'm a massive fan of the malt-based beers that Shmaltz has been putting out in the series, and Jewbelation has been a constant source of delight for me. As a result I was excited to pick this up...

Coney Island Mermaid Pilsener

Review #2400. 16oz pint, on tap at Taco Mac, Woodstock, GA, USA. Golden pour that produces some nice lace despite the head fading fairly fast. Carbonation is medium. Nose delivers an unusual combination of a decent Pils-like bite of hops, but also...

He’Brew Rejewvenator (Year Of The Grape) 2010

22oz bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. 2010 version, "The Year of the Grape". Very typical of the Rejewvenator series. Described on the label as half Doppelbock, half Dubbel! A difficult to beer to classify but delicious and rich in malt just...

He’Brew Jewbelation Bar Mitzvah (13)

In general I have been a huge fan of the malt-heavy beers that Shmaltz has put out in the Jewbelation, He'Brew series, so I'm delighted to have the chance to try the latest in the series. Always look forward to the annual offering, and given the GA...

He’Brew Origin Pomegranate Ale – Barrel-Aged

On tap at The Porter, Atlanta, GA, USA. Left over from a recent He'Brew/Shmaltz event I think. ‎ Pour gives a crystal clear, orange body with some wispy lace and head which ultimately settles to ‎give a thin white film on top of the...

He’Brew Rejewvenator (Year Of The Date) 2009

22 oz bottle @$4.99 from Hop City. Atlanta, GA, USA. This is the 2009 version of the Rejewvenator brewed with "All Natural Date Concentrate" and NOT the 2008 fig-based version. It's a new beer. Pour is a scrumptious, dark orange pour with great...

Coney Island Human Blockhead

Coney Island/Shmaltz makes some great beers so I am excited to try this one. I'm a touch skeptical of the need for a full 10% here, but we'll see. Poured this 650 mL into the Tucher Weizen glass to give a lovely copper colored body and a high,...

He’Brew Jewbelation 12

Pictured 06/25/12 Pretty sure that this bottled version came from a re-released mixed pack of anniversary beer. Tremendous beer that hasn't changed much in the interim with a richness and depth of flavor and malt that wasn't common during these...

Coney Island Freaktoberfest

22oz bomber, $4.99 from Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. As all have noted a bizzaro, Ribena colored body and a pink head. Head hangs around a little but not much lace. HAS to get a "5" for appearance (exceptional), not necessarily for the...

Coney Island Albino Python

22 oz bottle into the DFH palm glass. Purchased from Reilley's on Hilton Head Island, SC, USA. Big head on the pour with some decent lace. Seems a little over-carbonated. Cloudy lemon color. Nose has quite a strong lemon, menthol, spice note....

Coney Island Sword Swallower

22oz bottle, from Reilley's HHI. Golden honey colored pour with a small head and a small amount of lace. Sweet nose with a mild skunkiness to it as well. Sweet malts up front with a slight cloying feel. A rather astringent bitter finish that is...

He’Brew Rejewvenator (Year Of The Fig) 2008

I've been delighted by He'Brew so far so I was excited to try this. I was not let down, enjoyable. $4.99 from Green's, Atlanta, GA, USA. 22oz bomber. Partial pour into the Harpoon IPA 500mL glass. Great clarity in the reddish, amber body. Slight...

Coney Island Lager

Unexpectedly came across this at Jax, Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA, USA. Think it was about $4 for the 22oz bomber. Crazy label in line with Shmaltz off the wall marketing. Pour is a simple, but nicely clear amber body with some good soapy head and...

He’Brew Jewbelation 11

Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. 22 oz bomber. The usual He'Brew style label. Dark, dark brown pour with a little light entering at the bottom of the Imperial pint glass. A dark brown hue is still present at the bottom of the body. Nice mocha...

He’Brew Bittersweet Lenny’s R.I.P.A.

Delicious from the 22oz bomber. Pour is a fantastic garnet color with great head, super lacing and great retention. All the characteristics of a big American DIPA are there. Very sweet malts are the backdrop and the hops are drippin' all over it....

He’Brew Genesis 10:10

Another interesting and very drinkable beer from this increasingly impressive brewer. 22oz, $4.95, Greens Buford Highway, Atlanta, GA, USA. Aroma is lots of malty alcohol, really rich. This beer has a certain fruitiness about it, but to call it a...

Decent APA, but the style is so very unexciting in general, it is somewhat difficult to get excited about this beer or any other in the category. Light amber color, with no significant head or lacing. Good balance, quite dry and a nice bitter twang...

Interesting and I enjoyed it. Great deep brown garnet color, and a lovely large rocky head. The color of this beer is one of the best dark hues I have seen in sometime - very rich looking and inviting. Head fades a little too quickly though, and...

He’Brew Jewbelation 5766 (9)

Very, very impressed. Delicious looking pour. Deep, deep red, mahogany brown, the depth of color is second to none. Head is large with some lacing, but it fades a little on standing. Aroma and tastes reflect the pour and are deep, deep malts with a...
