Peppercorn and Pomegranate
Just had time to try the Pomegranate Ale (from Hebrew) and LipSmacker (for Mactarnahans).
The Pomegranate was picked up from the beerstein. It was a good fruit beer. I didn't think the pomegranate would work with the ale. It was great, my only complaint was the pomegranate was a little weak. The flavor was good and masked the high alcohol. I would recommend and buy on occasion.
The LipSmacker was an ale aged with peppercorn, supposedly to burn your lips. It doesn't live up to it's name and the ale is disappointing. Mactarnahan's ales are usually pretty good, this was not. The flavor was off and weak. There was no trace of hops and was a bit sour. Now i am trying to figure out what to do with the other bottle a bought.

Hey Deputy. This is Zak Davis from Shmaltz Brewing Company. Thanks so much for grabbing that bottle of Origin Pomegranate Ale. The reason you don't get too much of the pomegranate, is that we add it during fermentation, so most of those sugars convert into alcohol. We really wanted to avoid making a 'fruit beer.' We were going more for a 'beer with fruit.' If you haven't checked out Rejewvenator, our current seasonal (a half doppelbock, half Belgian-inspired dubbel, brewed with dates) you should definitely pick one up. I'd be curious to hear if you like it. Thanks again for all the support. L'Chaim!!
Zak,
You guys are awesome! Haven't had a disappointment yet. Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Brother B
Zak,
I am honored that you read my and my brother's blog. I thought I would share my love of fine beer. I will try to find some of the Rejewvenator if I can find it. Keep up the good work and spread the beer word.
