Fort Collins Major Toms Pomegranate Wheat

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

12oz - Aroma is wet wheat, hay, and yeast with some maltiness in the back. Pours transparent yellow with a huge fluffy head and great lacing. Flavor is yeasty for a wheat beer with a tart snap that must be what they mean by pomegranate, I can honestly say I don’t know what that tastes like. Palate is crisp and refreshing. Not sure why this has such a bad overall rating. I find it different and tasty, although I admit I won’t be standing in line to buy more anytime soon. It would be interesting to have fresh on draft.

bottle. above average white rocky head (mostly lasting) into clear semi-sparkling golden body with good lacing present. aromas of sweet citrus (pomegranate) and light hops. flavor is lightly bitter into a moderately sweetness. actually I did not find this beer as very pleasing (cheap sweetness).

Bottle. Light straw body, small white head, slightly hoppy nose. Some malt, medium hops, slight wheat notes, not much pomegranate. Decent.

Smells light and very faintly of wheat and fruit. Pours a clear golden yellow color with a thin white head. Taste is light and crisp, there is a faint taste of pomegranate, not overpowering at all. A nice light and refreshing fruit beer

Bottle: The most unique ber ever brewed? Uhhhhh I think the thin air is getting to you guys. Oily tanish head dissipates fast and leaves little lacing to speak of. Calling this a wheat beer is truly a stretch. It wasn’t even cloudy. The pommegranate was balanced and pleasant but overall boring.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy golden body with thin head. Aroma is light fruit, floral hops. Flavor is sweet malty taste, light hops and light fruit, tart. I was very surprised the pomegranate didn’t over power this one.

pours hazy gold with fluffy, fluffy head. touch of wheat in nose, mildly grainy. a touch of sweetness, the pomegranate masks the banana wheatiness. medium bodied. much better tan i expected.

12 oz bottle. Poured golden in color with a long lasting white foamy head. Great lacing left on the glass. Aroma of tart fruit and grass. Taste comes in tart with fruit, grape sweetness, and grass. I suppose there is pomegranates in there, but I’m not too keen to know that flavor well. This one at first sip reminds me of a Berliner Weise style. Not bad.
