Schmaltz HE'BREW Messiah Nut Brown Ale

Schmaltz Brewing Company is known for its HE'BREW Beer, which is widely recognized for its playful study of Jewish, world, and pop cultural. With brews named "Rejewvenator" and Funky Jewbelation, it's easy to get an idea of this brewery's sense of humor, and the spell check nightmares the front office must deal with on a daily basis. Today's Kosher Certified Rabbi approved brew is Messiah Nut Brown Ale. 

Pours cola brown with one finger's worth of wheat bread colored head. Aroma notes of malts. Roasted malt flavor with mild notes of nuts, toffee, and caramel. Medium body and carbonation. Bittersweet finish with a subtle hint of chocolate and lingering nutty notes. 

Overall a pretty good brew. Full bodied flavor and easy drinking.  If you're a fan of brown ales, give He'Brew Messiah a try, Jew'll be glad you did. I know, Adam Sandler ain't got nothing on me. 

L'Chaim!!!

New Holland Farmhouse Hatter

Farmhouse Hatter pours a clear copper with a thin short lived white head. The aroma is a blend of hops, grass, and citrus. First sip - pucker your taste buds beer drinkers, this brew is good deliciously sour. The flavor has tart citrus notes, with some funky farmhouse elements. The clean crisp body gives this brew a refreshing quality.

A long tart finish wraps this up nicely for this IPA followed by lingering hints of malts and spice.

Overall I loved this beer. It's certainly a pallet smacker. If you like pickles, or yellow pepper rings on your pizza, you’d probably enjoy this brew. In fact, this would be a great beer to enjoy with a meal. I’m thinking chicken piccata, heavy on the capers. This brew would act as a great pallet cleanser for the cream sauce, with the capers complimenting, but not over doing, the funky tart flavor.   

New Holland Recommends: Seafood, Fennel, Mushrooms, and Pickled Veggies.  

Chin Chin Warning: Enjoying this brew with pickled veggies may just warp your pallet into another taste bud dimension. 

Cheers!!!
