shintriad (697), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 1, 2008 Light orange with a nose of citrus and peach, candyish flavour that almost reminded me of an alcopop. It’s refreshing and somewhat fitting for the style, but hard to drink more than a sample.
Boutip (1815), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Oct 6, 2008 Bottle: Poured a deep golden color ale with a good size foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of lightly sweet malt with some light fruity notes as well. Taste is also a mix between some light sweet malt (couldn’t detect any wheat in there though) with some light fruit syrup added to the mix. I would be really surprise if there was any pomegranate in there; it is more likely that some syrup was use. Strangebrewer (42), Chatham, Ontario, Canada Oct 1, 2008 Very strong aroma that smells like sweet tart candies. Pours clear orange/amber with a foamy off-white head last does not last. Very dry, tasted nothing like it smelled. It burnt the back of my throat. I don’t know if the bottle I had expired. It looked and smelt great but I didn’t rate these areas because I couldn’t even finish the bottle. Beer Snob (356), Ontario, Canada Sep 6, 2008 My wife really likes this one. I on the other hand do not.
Smells like peach tastes like what I imagine guest soaps taste like and has a bland dry finish.
Spab (56), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 5, 2008 500 ml bottle. Pours a clearish copper with slightly off-white head. Aroma fairly strong, though pleasant, of pomegranate. Flavour likewise prominently features pomegranate, but with hint of wheat. Pomegranate not too sweet, more tart in the finish. Light body. A bit one note perhaps, but it’s a decent note and makes for a decent summer beer. pootzboy (872), Calgary/ Kitchener, Alberta, Canada Aug 31, 2008 Bottle from LCBO.
Pours a burnished copper color, slightly hazed with a reddish tinge. Decent cap fair lacing. Lively carbonation
Funky sweet fruit aroma and musty earthy notes.
Light body, dry wheat biscuit flavor light woody hopping with a persistent pomegranate flavor that stays through to the dry tart finish.
A light fruity spritzy-dry summer wheat beer in the commercial vein. No real flaws just not memorable enough to stand out.
