May 28, 2008 Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy. Clear ruby, small frothy off-white head. Vegetal roasty aroma. Vaguely sweet roasty taste, a little metallic, thin and flat - no thanks.

May 26, 2008 12 oz bottle...poured an opaque brown, w/ a slight tan head. ..no lacing. Nose was soap mixed with toasted nuts and malts. Flavor was the same...Palate was bitter and harsh. Not something I’ll ever try again...

May 26, 2008 This beer is good, but really too similar to other beers of the style. It is not so complex, but it is hoppy. Not very thick like Guinness though.

May 17, 2008 Very dark amber that is crystal clear. Flowers dominate the aroma with some sweet malt underneath. Flavor has roasty and sweet malt but not overwhelming. The sweetness is nicely balanced by non-descript hops. Not a bad brown ale but lacks personality that would make it unique.

May 11, 2008 Pours dark brown with red highlights.
Taste is sweet roasted malt with enough bitterness to give it some balance. Overall a bit on the sweet side but quite enjoyable.

May 10, 2008 bottle -Shalom Amusing marketing campaign... I’m going to assume the brewers are Jewish as I’m not sure anyone else could get away with it. Now on to the beer. It’s got a medium head with some legs. Flavor is malty with a dry finish that’s really quite nice. Unlike many here, I like a good brown ale once in awhile and this is a good brown ale. It won’t blow you away, but I don’t think it will disappoint either. Huzzah!

May 5, 2008 Graduation weekend in Bloomington. HeBrew Messiah Bold is a deep brown color with no head. The aroma is fruity with a sweet malt background and the flavor is similar with a smooth finish that is interesting as it is neither creamy nor watery.

May 5, 2008 Better than the Genesis ale, but still not distinct. Microbrewers like this have to raise their game to stand out these days. Fail.
