The next beer up in the Israel mega-recon by Jesslyn & Ronen. Apparently this one's a tribute to some dude (a doctor of some sort) who introduced the brewers at HaDubim (which apparently translates to Bears...Jay Cutler sucks) to beer-making.
It's cloudy and silty as hell...I guess the filtering didn't go too well, or wasn't tried at all. But it smells exactly like a pale ale should- a bit malty, with a nice bitterness. There's also a good amount of citrus, which shows that these guys have a decent handle on pale ale craft.
This is amazingly clean and light. There's a moderate level of bitterness, but it fades off of your tongue quickly, leaving some nice honey and citrus on the finisk. The carb's nice and poppy without being belch-inducing. There aren't a lot of advanced complex flavors, but it's very well-crafted, nicely balanced and easy-drinkin'. It'd be a hell of a session pale...if only it were possible to get more in San Diego.
