| The 2023 version of Kabir commemorates Israel's 75th anniversary of independence: A collaboration between Six-Pack Brewing and BeerBazaar Brewery. |
This is the third year in a row that Six-Pack Brewing (also known as Super Hero Beer) has brought out a new version of Kabir to commemorate Israel Independence Day. It was brewed at and in collaboration with the BeerBazaar Brewery in Kiryat Gat.
Kabir, which means "great" in Hebrew, was the name of a brewery established during the Mandate in 1942, and each year the label is dedicated to a different army unit which fought in the War of Independence. This year, for Israel's 75th anniversary, it's Samson's Foxes, the legendary mechanized patrol of the Givati Brigade that operated in the Negev and the southern front.

History aside, the Kabir for 2023
is a Hoppy Lager, a light style of beer, but hopped with several varieties to
give it more aroma and flavor. ABV is
4.8%.
Kabir is a clear, golden color with a long-lasting head. It gives off lemon and herbal aromas. The taste is mildly sweet, with lemon in the forefront, though it's not sour. There is also some bread in the flavor, and a long bitter and lemony finish. Crisp and refreshing, a good summertime beer.
