Fort Collins Major Toms Pomegranate Wheat

Brewed by Fort Collins Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

Pours a pale gold with a medium bubbly white head. Fruity aroma, a little light but certainly can get the pom. Light grainy malt under that. Flavour starts well, crisp and tart but turns a bland middle before washing out in the finish with some lingering tartness. Not a lot of fruit coming through in the flavour. Certainly different.

Bottle from some time ago. I am not really sure why I bought all of these. I guess to mimic my friend, Daniel. Fortunately, I was half drunk when I drank this sweet fruity nasty beer. I am not sure I have ever eaten a pomegranate, but if it tastes like this beer, I don’t think I want to. Yellow color, no head, sweet funky smell coming from the glass. Taste is sweet and fruity, and somewhat refreshing. It could be a good wheat beer if they got rid of that nasty sweet whatever it is in it. Not my cup of tea (or beer) here, but at least it is just one more rating. Maybe they will brew this beer with 20 different fruits so that Sean can request more ratings.

This was quite different and tangy. Doesnt really taste like pomegranate, but has more of a citrus fruit like acidity that is slightly sour and tart all at the same time, some cereal maltiness. Not a lot to it, but it is still refreshing.

clear yellow pour. Large white head that diminishes quickly. Lively mouthfeel. A sweet citrus wheat. Good on a summer day.

Clear golden body with a pleasant consistent bubble; thin white head leaves appropriate tracings down the flute... spritzy, sprightly fruity scents--subtly appealing... smooth up front, with an IPA-like trail off... unique indeed--a bit spritzy upon further drinking... I still don’t know what pomegranate tastes like, but this has subdued citricity that settles tartly under the tongue... refreshing and light--a good combination for summer consumption... like a light, less candified, wheatier lambic.

Pours bright gold into a shaker. White head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sour wheat aromas. American wheat with no real fruit flavors. Eh.

Single from Three Cellars Milwaukee. Spare white diminishing head. With an orange almost cider like color and look. Surprisingly hopy still lighter with soft carbonation. The pomegranate didn’t really come in as much as I had hoped. It just added sweetness. A good drinkable beer.

The aroma is grassy, and clean much like a pilsner. pours transparent gold with a huge 2 inches of fluffy head. flavor is tart and refreshing, much like a lager. very clean cereal malt and grassiness. no real fruit flavor. very easy to drink and light on the palate.
