This week's Sunday Night Suds beer review looks at Ronen Brewery's Birah Hodit (loosely translated as Indian Beer).
Ronen is a division of the productive Israeli Brewery called Srigim which produces beer under various lines including Fat Cat (my daughter Tali's favorite beer logo --click here for the review http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2017/02/sunday-night-suds-beer-bazaar-fat-cat.html) as well as Beer Bazaar and Emek Haella (reviewed here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2017/03/sunday-night-suds-emek-haela-irish-red.html). A link to the main brewery website can be found here www.srigim-beer.co.il/emekhaela.
The beer poured a dark gold with lots of foam and lacing which lasted more than twenty minutes after the pour. There are some hops forward in the brew and the coppery, piney taste was somewhat reminiscent of the (formerly certified kosher) Redhook LongHammer IPA. There is more than a decent amount of bitter in each sip, but the flavor seems a little too heavily influenced by the alcohol content (its 6.5% abv).
The Birah Hodit is certified kosher by the Rabbanut of Mateh Yehuda. To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about this brew, please follow this link beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/34175/115358.
If you've tried this beer or any others which have been reviewed on the kosher beers site, please feel free to post your comments (anonymous comments are acceptable).
Also, if you are reading this post more than six months after it was written, please note that it is possible that the product is no longer still certified kosher. To verify that the product is still certified kosher, please check the label on the bottle you are purchasing (since the the kosher beers list link does not include beer brewed in Israel).
