Malka Brewery – Fun Israeli Beer

After a group purchase from Golda Brewery organized for us by Gal, this time we tried Malka Brewery. Malka brewery makes 3 types of beer – Malka Bright, Malka Redhead and Malka Dark, each of which is unique and excellent. These beers are very easy going and work really great with the Israeli summer.

Malka Bright – This beer is of a type called “Saison” (Season in France),  a generic name given to pale ales with low alcohol percentage, a fact that makes this beer light and very refreshing. This beer was known as the beer farmers would take with them to the fields during the harvest.

Color – cloudy resin.

Nose – mainly citrus peel and freshness.

Flavor – citrus flavors accompanied by light fizzing that fills your mouth. Fun and bitter free beer.

This is the perfect answer for afternoon hours, when you get back from work and it’s to worm for wine and the thirst parches your throat.

Malka Redhead – This one is a PA which is one of my favorite beers. This style shows excellent balance between the bitter and all other flavors composing the beer.

Color – Beautiful sunset colors that matches this style of beer.

Flavor – Medium body with flavors reminding whole wheat bread.

Malka Dark – Stout beer. This style is known for its intense bitterness and full body. I usually don’t like Stout beers, however, this time I found a beer I can relate to and even enjoy.

Color – Coffee

Nose – Coffee

Flavor – Coffee, roasted wood and dark chocolate. The bitterness even though noticeable, is very pleasing.

Israeli breweries have proved once again that there is a future in this field, and that we have some brewers how know what they are doing, and produce some nice beer.
