Michelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Fruit Beer
St. Louis, Missouri USA

Tried at a beer tasting in Concord, New Hampshire (USA) on May 16, 2008. Poured into a 5 oz. plastic cup a light yellow-straw tone and a short-lived bubbly white head. This thing was exploding with the aroma of raspberry. I mean, where was the beer smell? I felt like I was standing near a raspberry bush. The flavor was a lot more subtle than the aroma that’s for sure. Another rather average A-B product with an overwhelming desire to be a wine cooler. I can’t say as I was terribly impressed.

Smells quite tart and berry fruity. Ubiquitous appearance once in the glass, pale yellow. Taste is nearly artificial fruity so its nothing like the pure sour fruit of a lambic. Somewhat similar to most other craft brewed fruit beers. For some reason I was expecting something sweeter. Finish is flavored pale lager with malt liquor hints and this is surprising considering this is only 4+%.

Crystal clear coloured light golden body with a soapy thin white head. Aroma of horribly disgusting raspberries, yeast, corn and malt - oh yeah, a ton of sugar too. Light-bodied; Potent acidic and horrid bitter fruit flavours with some alcohol and malt tastes along with a bad metallic twang. Aftertaste shows nothing but bad and bitter tastes - nothing pleasant, even worse with the fake sugar tastes. Overall, one of the worst beers I’ve had - absolutely horrible. I received this twelve ounce bottle courtesy (I think) of a joke from my brother-in-law on 19-April-2008.

Pours a three finger white head that vanishes in a minute and leaves no lace. Clear ugly greenish amber color. strong carbonation and light bodied. Sweet raspberry nose. Flavor is sweet raspberry, squeaky clean finish. Good session beer for the non-beer drinker, nothing here for the serious beer drinker. Brewed on Mar 5, 2008, $1.50 for a 12oz bottle from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.

Bottle. Pours a light yellow with a thin white head. Has a nice pomegranate and raspberry aroma. Taste is similiar, but is less exciting than the aroma and is a little sweet. As a normal fruit beer, it is rather weak, but as a fusion of fruit and Michelob Ultra it is fairly good. The fruit flavors and Ultra taste mix well. It met my expectation and aside from being inexpensive, it is clean, crisp, smooth and refreshing. Overall, it is not bad, but I’d rather see a fruit rendition of one of their other beers.

Very light color with no head and no lacing. Aroma was slightly fruity, but nothing intense. Flavor was very good for a sparkling water and was nice all the way up until the weak malt beer flavor kicks in at the end.

From a bottle poured agolden straw color with a fair amount of head. Flavor of hints of pomegranate but disappointing.

Blah. This is not a fruit beer. This is too heavily carbonated water with a spritz of raspberry. Aroma was very distant but could pick up Fruity Pebbles. Pour was a very light gold/near white with no head. Taste was wierd. If you took a bowl of Fruity Pebbles, poured seltzer water in it instead of milk and let the fruitiness soak in. That’s what this would taste like. Not incredibly bad to casually drink, but as a beer...it’s bad.
