Bottle (22oz) My bottle shared with blankboy, garthicus, GregClow and tupalev. 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.

A well hopped, malty ale. Pretty smooth and sweet, and you can clearly taste the figs. I wonder what is so Jewish about the HeBrew line of beers. Are they kosher? Do they taste good with matzoh crackers?

bomber. color is tawny amber brown with orange edges. bone colored head forms tight but quickly recedes. chocolate malts stand out in the aroma. a pleasant fruitiness turns up as well. different than i had expected. a little sweet with the chocolate ,malt observed in the aroma playing a big part in the flavor. dark figgy fruit is present but not detracting. hops are definitely down played. palate is clean and body is relatively full. not at all what i was imagining, but a solid brew nonetheless.
