Brewed by Fort Collins Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer

any beer under 5% loses points. that being said, this beer isn’t superbad....just real bad. It goes down easy but it’s colorless & flavorless

12oz bottle. thanks Jim! pours clean topped off with a very fine thin head. golden color with no haze at all. aroma is mostly grains, lots of malt no hops and only trace amounts of fruit. slightly tart partly sour flavor. simple malty background is not particularly impressive. only a hint of tart pomegranate in the middle. crisp clean finish. meh.

12 oz. bottle from Eli. Pours golden yellow with amber hues. little head. Nose is sour fruit and wheat, touch of bread. Very light wheat taste, good body and mouthfeel. Pomegranate is no where near as prominate as expected. It really tastes like a uniquely fruity American wheat. There’s not real "fruit beer" feel to this, just beer. Good stuff. I would get a sixer of this in the summer.

Bread and fruit aroma. Tart. Prominent wheat with mild pomegranate notes. Not really better than any other wheats I’ve had but different. Other than the novelty I don’t know that I’d recommend this over any other wheat.

12oz bottle poured in a lager glass. FCMTPW pours yellow, not golden, not bronze nor copper. It doesn’t pour pale yellow or straw yellow. This beer pours yellow. The head is light and creamy looking. The aroma has an old grain and feet smell to it. The body is carbonated and light. The taste is odd, like green grapes and tonic water. I don’t believe I’ve ever had a pomegranate before and based on this beer I don’t believe I’ll be rushing out to try one. The finish is quick but leaves a fruit juice acidity in your throat.

Pours a straw yellow with small head. Aroma of wheat and subtle fruit. Flavor is a lot more bold than the aroma. Decent amount of fruit and it lingers a little while with some tartness. Stacks up there with most of the other fruit wheats that I have had.

Pours a hazy light gold with a small, frothy, white head. The nose is a sour wheat, dusty and fruity-tart. Light-bodied and lively with a lightly dry and tart finish. The flavor is a lightly sweet and sour wheat with a moderately tart fruit backing. The fruit in this doesn’t really taste like pomegranates to me, and I think the beer would be improved if they removed the fruit and bottled it as a straight wheat.
