Shmaltz Brewing Company
Brewed at Olde Saratoga Brewing (Mendocino Brewing Co.)
Style: American Pale Ale
San Francisco, California USA

Decent ligtht brown ale. Aroma of light hops and malty caramel sweetness. Taste is crisp and light. Not great and not poor. Overall a fair brew.

Sampled at a HeBrew tasting at Oldsmar Tap House. Will update full rating asap.

Bottle. Pours bubbly amber with an off white head. Aroma is light caramel and chestnut. Medium/thin body. Flavor is caramel, nuts, and hops. Not a bad beer, I enjoyed it enough.

Fairly hoppy, lightly spiced, smooth medium bodied drink. Decent drink - nothing special but would not turn down.

purchased at 99 bottles in federal way, washington. pour is a hazy amber-orange with a large yellowish head that goes away quickly, nice lacing. smell is malt, spice, some pine, floral, bit of caramel in there. taste is spice, some caramel, slight bitter, hops. overall this was quite refreshing, and tastes good.

12oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with a thin, lacy head. Aroma is sweet, with a pronounced caramel scent complemented by floral hops and roasted malt. Taste is medium-bodied, with a crisp hoppy bite giving way to a lingering finish of somewhat bitter hoppiness and floral notes. An unremarkable pale ale with admittedly clever marketing.

An average Beer for the average beer drinker. Light amber color with a moderate amount of head. normal bitterness and average aftertaste. The beer is not bad per say, but theres nothing remarkable about it either. Only for those who like something unremarkable.

Some of the scores are too low on this one. Granted, this is not HeBrew’s best, but it does take the basic pale ale to a slightly different level with that subtle brown, creamy taste going on. Far better than other basic beers.
