Bottle… Clear golden ale with orange highlights and a small, fizzy, white head. Nice retention. The aroma provides buttery sweetness and lightly toasted grains, but is a touch medicinal. Medium-bodied with a fatty mouthfeel and lively carbonation. The flavor is sweet, buttery and lightly fruity with modest, metallic bitterness. Sweet, buttery finish.

Bottle courtesy of argo0, thanks! Pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma Of fruit and cranberry. Taste is sweet and fruity but with a dry and slightly sour finish. Interesting.

Pale cloudy yellow pour. The aroma is of spicy wheat, coriander and some light citrus as well. Fairly wheaty palate with some zesty fruitiness. A bit of ginger and fruit with some lingering yeasty spice. Fruity but not overdone.

Bottle shared by argo0. Pours clear gold with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is pomegranate and fruity esters and spicy wheat malt. Flavor is mild fruity esters and pomegranate with wheat malt and a dry finish. Light body, warmth, and carbonation.

Bottle from Whole Foods. Gold pour, big white head. Very carbonated. A big dose of floral hops hits followed by a good amount of wheat and some fruit and berries. Flavor is much more bitter than I expected. The hops, wheat and pomegranate make for an interesting combo. But I don’t want to drink one again.

12oz bottle shared by argo0: Pours a clear deep golden with a thin wispy white head. Has a lightly sweet pale malty nose with some floral fruity notes and grassy hops. Starts with a thin lightly effervescent body and sweet sugary character with a touch of tart pomegranate juice before a dull finish. Pretty bland overall.
