4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Clear, ripe red appearance, under lacey off-white head.
Lovely aromatics! Bright fruit, lush malt, plentiful, but not prominent, hops. Malt is king, and fruit is...queen, I’d guess?
Beauty on the tastebuds, once slipped onto the tongue and into the belly! Slick, supple, sensuous, delicious! Juicy malt, tasty fruit, tantalizing hops...gorgeous! 8% abv not felt, really...yet.
"Imperial Amber Ale"...yup, that says it..."brewed with luscious promegranate juice"...nothing much else to say, but, thumbs up!
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Piney hops, pomegranate and pineapple on the nose. Medium bodied with the upfront taste of pomegranate and then a nice balance of malt and hops leaving a slightly bitter finish. The pomegranate isn’t overwhelming making for a good fruit beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a reddish copper color with white head and little lacing. Aromas of maltiness, caramels and earthiness. Taste has some sweetness, some tart notes. Very little bitterness. Palate is dry, not overly carbonated. Overall, a pretty decent beer. I don’t taste much pomegranate, but nonetheless, a nice tasting beer.

Bottle. Pours orange with a small ivory head. Aroma is really nice, fresh bread and the pomegranate shows up. Flavor is malty and sweet, fruit is a bit nondescript and in the background, but pleasant enough.
