20070428 TAP NY. I’d say tap but in retrospect it maybe was bottled from these guys? maybe i’m thinking of their root beer (which is delicious and welcome, for sure!). Decent enough American wheat with a good, dry hop bite. Pomegranate must just be a gimmick because, to me, it’s unnoticeable.

Sep 30, 2008 Bottle thanks to thanks to zathrus13. Pours with a fizzy off-white head. Hazy amber tinged golden body. Aroma of hay, sweat (yes sweat), metal, cardboard and light fruits. Taste is wheaty and fruit with notes of pink lemonade and pomegranate. FIzzy and dry.

Sep 28, 2008 Pours a translucent amber slightly on the yellow side. Very faint pomegranate nose with no other real scents to speak of. Sweet taste with a hint of tartness from the pomegranate juice. Pretty thin body, comparable to a fruit juice.

Sep 21, 2008 Pours orange/gold, with a white head. Aroma is fruit, and wheat. Flavor is also light, with pomegranate and peaches. A non-offensive brew, but not much going on overall.

Sep 19, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber with carbonation
bubbles rising from bottom of glass. A
bit of pomegranate tartness came through in the aroma with some yeastiness as well. Smooth palate, just
slightly on the thin side. Light on flavor-
just noted some pomegranate on the tip
of the tongue and after swallowing, but
not much else. Got this in their summer
mix pack, and had some hope for it. Not
too impressive though.

Sep 14, 2008 As its description implies, this is a wheat beer with pomegranate juice thrown in. The aroma is mostly that of a wheat beer, mainly the sugar malt of wheat, and very grainy. The appearance also is a yellow haze, like a wheat beer. Maybve a little redish color to denote the pomegranate. The falvor is like a wheat, grainy, malty, a tad spicy, but has the strange sweetness of pomegranate juice as well. (I’d like to think that fruit added to a beer is done before fermentation to augment its alcohol content and its complexity, but I doubt that is the case here). The palate is unremarkable, like I’d just drunk pomegranate juice. I wouldn’t refuse this if it was offered at a party, but I’m not impressed overall.
