Michelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry

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

This one is rather overly sweet and cloying - my least favorite of the mich fruit beers. The raspberry is omnipresent.

A clear yellow pilsener beer that pours with a 2 inch tremendously dissipating head. Smells good like raspberry soda. The flavor is something else... like sugar, milk and corn, and corn syrup, with a hint of flavor raspberry sugar mixed in. There is no pomegranate to speak of anywhere to be found in the aroma or flavor, but it sure does help to sell more of these to the girls. Mouthfeel is fizzy, and pretty carbonated. This just taste like the leftover milk from my fruity pebbles. Abetter idea would have been to put Rosy the Riverter on the label of a good IPA.

This was one of the worst beers ever invented. The fruity taste was horrible. I wouldn’t wish this beer on my worst enemy.

It’s a pretty refreshing drink on a hot day if your really thirsty. I actually wouldn’t classify this as a beer, it tastes like artificially flavored water. It’s not a bad drink if you need to chug something but I just can’t bring myself to call it a beer.

Appearance: Pours a clear, light yellow body with a tiny, and I do mean tiny, white head. Smell: 75% raspberries, 25% pomegranates, but 100% artificial. Taste: About the same for the taste, though, mercifully, it isn’t too sweet. Vaguest hint of grain beneath the flavoring. Ultra fake through to the very end of this thing. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium-low carbonation. Drinkability: Their Tuscan Orange was acceptable, but this, however, was so intensely artificial in flavor as to be unpleasant.

Not good malt nastiness. Thought maybe it would surprise. NOPE. NRA show Chicago. Yuck. Nasty mistake.

This fruit beer pours a very light yellow gold color from a clear 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized quickly diminishing white foamy head. The aroma is raspberries and sweet. A very light bodied fruit beer. The malts are cereal and grain. The hops are slightly spicy. Lively carbonation, some small bubbles. Again it is basically a Michelob ultra, so it’s flavored club soda. The raspberry flavors are semi sweet and a touch artificial and thin tasting. I liked the Tuscan orange better, but this is still better than Ultra. Mouthfeel is thin. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is mostly neutral.
