Coney Island Lager

I found this relatively flavorless lager to be a great disappointment after Coney Island's other great successes, including the Sword Swallower, Mermaid Pilsner, and, of course, Albino Python. This further establishes that Shmaltz is a very uneven brewery.

Mermaid Island

Shmaltz. A rye pilsner? Now that's the way to do it right. I'm not generally a huge pilsner fan, but this one is delicious. At this point, I'm beginning to think Shmaltz can do no wrong with its Coney Island lagers.

Sword Swallower

Shmaltz. Malty-hoppy balance. They're both strong, but neither is overwhelming, and the combination is surprisingly smooth. Truly a fantastic beer. With this beer, Shmaltz overcame my initial reluctance (inspired by He'Brew) to become one of my favorite breweries.

Albino Python

Shmaltz. This is a delicious beer. Truly a delightful blend of spices, not too strong, but very smooth.
