Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a medium white head. Aroma of bitter lemon, fresh yeast and mild grapefruit. Taste is bitter with a semi tart sweet lemon finish. A nice summer brew that can be drunk in large quantities during mowing the lawn breaks.

Bottle from Keg Liqours. Poured a clear dark amber color with a large off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sweet citrus aroma. Medium body with sticky texture. Moderate bitter flavor with a smooth moderate bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Interesting beer.

Nice amber color,small white head that faded quickly but still managed to leave a slight lace behind.Grapefruity aroma with a slight wheat side and little more.I think they need to rethink there fruit,because this just does not work for me.The flavor is more of a weak IPA starting out with a flavor of grapefruit with a slight tangy side that i guess is kind of pomegraniteish.and it pretty much stays in the bitter sour area of the pallate....This just doesn’t work for me,nice try going for this kind of fruit but,eather there isn’t enough pomegranite or it just resembles to much of a flavor of an ipa and it’s hop profile then anything for me.

Bottle. Aroma is sweetly of indeterminate fruitiness and slight wheat. I guess that’s pomegranate. Body a cloudy golden, little white head. Taste is sharp, surprisingly bitter and grainy and tart with notes of wheat and grapefruit. Slightly acidic, and again, I think that’s pomegranate, but it’s too indistinct for surety. Medium body, bitter fruity aftertaste. Different yes, but kinda off-putting.

Very disappointing. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was hoping for at least *some* fruit. There was none to be found. If there really was even a slightly significant amount of pomegranite juice in this, wouldn’t it at least be slightly pinkish? Because it’s not, at all. Just flat out yellow. This is a totally boring, bland, worthless american wheat. They should take the "pomegranate" off the label entirely.

Gold color with a thin head. Not much aroma. Taste of soured fruit. Clean wheat finish.

I don’t normally like wheat beers, but I did like this one. It was definately different. Not as sweet as many wheats I’ve tried, a fact I appreciated.

WBF-Raleigh. Light amber body with a fizzy white head. Wheat and fruit aroma. Sweet fruity flavor on a grainy background.
