Here at RBR, we love the Jews. Fonnie technically is. They produce a damn good brew. And at the suggestion of Ms. Komadina, who graced us with her thanks in our last HeBrew review, we have gotten a hold of the Rejewvenator.
This brew produced a nice brown, almost Coke-like color to it. It had a nice, but short-lived head that left a nice ring around the top. It was very dark but some light got through which prevented me from giving this the "motor oil" rating. It had a very fruity, sweet aroma. There was a dash of hops in there as well and the overall scent actually reminded me of the Samuel Adams Double Bock - very pleasant. As evidenced by the smell, the taste followed suit with a fruity palate. It had some nicely flavored hops in it as well. It started a little bitter and mellowed out very quickly to end smooth. Although, there was a very quick flow of flavors and it wasn't very lasting.
Although the duration of the flavors was a little disappointing, while it lasted, they were amazing. This was a very well-crafted brew. Yet another gold star for Shmaltz Brewing Co.

Hey Deke. This is Zak Davis from Shmaltz Brewing Company. Glad to see that Melissa stopped by. Thanks so much for checking out the Rejewvenator. Was it this year's, brewed with dates, or last year's, brewed with figs? Either way, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. We've been having a blast with those beers and it's always nice to get feedback from someone who is enjoying them. Thanks again for the support. L'Chaim!!
ReplyDeleteI do believe this was last year's version with the figs. Melissa mentioned this year's version with the dates but we've yet to see that hit the shelves. Any idea when we should expect this up-and-coming masterpiece?
ReplyDeleteHello again, Deke! Awesome you got to try Rejewvenator 08. The new one should be out, where are you located?

In the Hoboken/Weehawken area of New Jersey. Any idea where the Rejewvenator 09 should be hitting in my area?
