Ground Control to Major Tom. You're cleared to try the most unique beer ever brewed. A nice, slightly sweet-tart Wheat Beer brewed with pomegranates. Excitingly different!

Bottle courtesy of illinismitty. Pours amber with a nice white head. Smells of wheat, some grass. Tastes of pomegranates, wheat, citrus. Decent.

This is different, but not terribly exciting. It basically tastes like a hopped up American wheat beer with a faint, very faint pomegranate flavoring. Perhaps the lack of fruit is not such a bad thing, but even the driest funkiest fruit lambics maintain some a distinct flavor of the fruit, with this one I am not sure I would even notice the pomegranate if it were not labeled on the bottle. In other news, this has a nice little head with some good lace, and is a bit watery in texture.

Bottle. Pours a pale golden body with a white head. Wheaty beer with some astringent fruit, tastes like phony fruity esters and a bit metallic. Eh pass on it.

bottle poured a lighter golden color with a thin white head. aroma has wheat, faint fruit, sweetness, wheat, and grains. mouth feel is thin with light carbonation. flavor has a light pomegranate extract fruit sweetness, light wheat body, and some bitters. very washed out with some minerals and bitters lingering in the finish. thirst quenching but not very exciting.

Pomegranate is a very delicate fruit, the extract more so. In tea and other brewing processes that flavor is lost. Even paired with a wheat, there just isn’t any fruitiness left.

This is a nice change of pace. Semi-cloudy yellow with fair white head and Suprising amount of lacing. Fruity fresh aroma. True to the description, it kinda is like a sweet-tart. Wheaty aftertaste. Not bad, but wouldn’t want to drink a lot of these.
