Schmaltz Brewing He'Brew Hop Manna IPA

There are still some left overs from my Hop Heads Only Event of one month ago, and this, the first regular/ single IPA from Schmaltz Brewing is one of them. Still a few left to go, though.For now, this is what we're looking at, the Hop Manna.


Hazy, amber/golden appearance, slim, but staying layer of white foam.

Aroma: moderate levels of pine and citrus fruit, nice array of bitterness, pleasing for any hop-head.

Taste: Juicy fruit hits first, followed by bitter hops, and it never stops. A full-on assault of hop bitterness, balanced with judicious tier of malt, but fruit and hops are king here. Stays long on the palate, never finishing, keeping camp on the tastebuds. Ends fairly dry.
Excellent consumability. A cornucopia of West Coast hops deliver the lemon and lime and orange peel, and grapefruit pith.

I like this one. An IPA every hop-head should enjoy, with a torrent of bitter hoppy flavor, never flagging. Well done, Schmaltz, another feather in your yarmulke.
