What a beautiful sight to behold! He’Brew Genesis Ale by Schmaltz Brewing Company is deep orange with a slight haze, big fluffy head, plenty of Brussels lace and a goodly amount of fine carbonation. The bouquet continues the beautiful trend…a perfect mix of sweet and sharp with a touch of citrus and dough thrown in for good measure. This truly is a food-like ale, in that it has a breadlike quality coming from the malt, but it is not a heavy brew. I’d call it full-bodied but not filling, or perhaps medium-bodied would be more accurate. There is a pleasant sweetness in the taste, balanced well by a nice dose of hops, and a hint of bitterness in the finish. And on top of it all, it’s kosher!
It is also a clever beer. I’ve always gotten a chuckle out of the labels for He’Brew beers, with their plays on words pertaining to the Jewish faith and lifestyle. The label is also fun, evoking a Marc Chagall stained glass window, in a strange way. Don’t let the cleverness of the packaging fool you into thinking it’s a novelty brew of some sort, because Genesis Ale is the real deal. You can bet I’ll delve deeper into the He’Brew line of products. Brown ale 88/100
