Fort Collins Major Toms Pomegranate Wheat

Brewed by Fort Collins Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

Tarry, wheat aroma that I didn’t enjoy. Clear yellow, good label. Tangy, grassy, cranberry tartness. Medium to medium light body, clingy aftertaste. Broudy’s, Ponte Vedra.

12oz bottle pours deep clear gold with very brief white head. The aroma is very mild giving up only glimpses of sweetness and berry like dark fruitiness. The taste reminds me of Drake’s Raspberry Wheat with a crisp refreshing beginning followed by a quick pulse of sweet pomegranate heading into dry wheat notes. Midway the wheat, sweet malts and dark fruitiness mingles together creating a fine summertime brew sensation.

I can definitely taste the tartness of the pomegranate, but overall this beer did not impress me. Interesting but there are a lot of other beers i would rather have.

Bottle. Not a fan of this. Not much here....soso hohum average etc. Drink better beer is my motto this is not one i will have again.

12oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazed golden body with a finger-width, fizzy, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is a floral bouquet of sweet grainy wheat, pomegranate sweet fruits, a light pomegranate tartness, a touch of yeast, and a hint of hop bitterness. Mostly sweet fruits with a somewhat tart wheat. Not bad. Flavor is an enjoyable zesty, sweet wheat up front with some citrus and pomegranate. Smooth wheat in the middle with a noticable sweetness before it finishes with a grassy bitterness that quickly dries and leaves a moderate aftertaste. Medium body, crisp, clean, and smooth. Overall, a nice tasting wheat. Sweet with a nice fruitiness that has just a slight tartness, plenty of balancing wheats, and a decent grassy bitterness. Crisp, balanced, and tasty. Not bad at all.

12oz bottle from total wine and more in atlanta. The final of six fort collins I’ve had for the first time from a mix six. Aroma is wheat, hay, grain and apples. flavor is lightly sweet malt taste and then lightly bitter. guess I get a bit of the pomegranate in there somewhere. fairly average stuff here. not a fan of the brewery at this point.

Bottle… Pours clear and yellow with a small, transparent head. The bouquet is built upon piny, musky hops and pale grains with a restrained fruit component. Medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. The flavor starts with a pomegranate twang, but that quickly cedes to moderate, earthy, bitterness. Finishes lightly bitter, earthy and a touch dry.

Draught. Light yellow with white head. Aromas are sweet fruity (pomegranate), yeasty/doughy, and floral notes. Flavor is wheat, fruit and lemon/lime citrus light hops.
