Michelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry

Bottle from ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a white head, clear yellow body. Aroma of jolly ranchers, raspberries and berry syrup. Taste is watery with wheat and a bit of berry syrup...so water. Fizzy and watery...

Yellow orange color. Small to medium sized fizzy off white head. Tastes spritzy, and seltzer like with some back end raspberries and water. I did not expect it to be good but it’s not offensive.

I was in Albany yesterday and had an hour in between meetings and went to a deli to grab something for lunch and spotted this in the cooler. 12 oz. clear bottle. Pours a clear gold with a sudsy white head that actually held through the first third of the glass and left patchy lace. The aroma isw very reminiscent of raspberry soda, not unpleasant, just not very beer-like. The flavor is less alca-pop than the aroma with some mild malt along with the raspberry. I did not detect any of the pomegranate in either the aroma or the flavor. No real bitterness to speak of at the finish. Thin and watery mouthfeel. Better than the regular Michelob Ultra, but then again, that’s not saying much.

Bottled. Very pale yellow, no head. Artificial marachino aroma followed up by plastic and saccharine. Then glue and DrPepper takes over for a while before it mercifully fades out in a swamp of raspberry syrup. God help me.

Bottle courtesy of my mom. Poured a clear, light gold color not much white head. Aroma of raspberry, and thats about it. Essence of fruit in the flavor; not too pronounced actually. Some breadiness in the middle to the finish. Lingering after taste of nothing. Not terrible and at least its not a High Life. Not as good as the Tuscan Orange.

Bottle@omhpers place Apperance: Yellowish with a small head. Aroma: Fruits, Marsipan, Cherries. Very chemical and un-natural. Flavor: Dr.Pepper mixed with a bit of water anyone ? Raspberry, Caramel, Artificial sweeteners. Palate: Just dry and boring. Very sweet. This is more like a soda than a beer and should be avoided.

Very light golden color......thin head. Mild aroma of raspberry, with a hint of sweetness. Slightly sweet raspberry flavor up front......mouthfeel is crisp, yet not overpowering. Raspberry flavor gives way to a citrus taste in the back, and is followed with a lingering finish. Just like it’s Lime Cactus cousin, this beer is lacking any sort of complexity, though it does quench one’s thirst on a hot day......much like the way water does.

light colored body – reminds me of crystal light with the benefits of a weak buzz
