As a young shepherd, David famously vanquished the giant Goliath with a hand-crafted sling. Our modern anti-hero Bart Simpson clowns through childhood vrith a slingshot. Homer. Caesar. and Thucydides wrote of slings. The IRA. The Incas vs the Conquistadores. Native Americans and Palestinians have all wielded this iconic weapon of the underdog. A low-status tool, ancient slings were rarely preserved in the tombs of the wealthy. Michelangelo’s David embodied resistance and epic beauty in the Renaissance. Slingshots meant merry mischief to Dennis the Menace, Calvin, Woody Woodpecker and the Beverly Hillbillies. A musician and poet, the teenage David rescued his sheep from the mouth of lions. The first to unite the entire nation of Israel. the lineage of the Messiah descends from him. In Samuel 17, rising to the boasts of a mighty enemy, David refused the armor and weapons of the King. instead proclaiming victory. Not by my sword but by my Spirit” David in Hebrew means “Beloved”. I am approaching the age that my dad. David. died when I was a teenager. A lifelong Special Ed teacher and summer Army reservist. he served as both loving mentor and affable prankster a dedicated advocate for the underdog. In Alchemy, the Star of David equals a mystical union of male/female earth/sky leading to nirvana. The 6-pointed Brewers Star blends fire, water, malt, yeast, hops, and the character of the brewer. In the spirit of a slew of Dards & Slingshots. Shmaltz hoists our tribute to the glories of Summer… L’Chaim! Jeremy Cowan, proprietor

I never really fully enjoyed lagers...until I discovered hoppy lagers. Especially from the quality brewers who know how to do them right, you know when you come across the good ones. This is clean, refreshing, doesn't have that sour yeasty aftertaste. Flavors of light grain, mild citrus from the hops, and a little malt in there. Almost like a pale ale. Appearance is semi-clear pale yellow with a light gold tint. Received in the He'Brew Hop-IPA Mixpack, but would like to find a 6 or 12 of this next spring/summer when the weather gets hot again.

A bright orange colored beer with a moderate frothy textured, off white head rising above. There's some hang time on that head. A creamy cap is left. A muted granny nose. In the tasting I get grassiness, citric hops, grapefruit hoppiness. A light and crisp beer

Pours a clear amber with a fairly thick but not persistent off-white head. Wheaty aroma has lemon and yeast side notes. Wheaty flavor is quite refreshing and pleasing, with hints of lemon and hops. Texture is smooth and rather firm, if not too fizzy. Sling one down your throat.
