Fort Collins Major Toms Pomegranate Wheat

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

What a great beer. I felt it was pretty well balanced with the pom. flavor. I’m a sucker for any wheat beer so, maybe I rated it a little higher than most would.

Golden pour with barely any head. Aroma of light perfumy fruit. Flavor tastes like fake fruit, like an alco-pop. Didn’t like this one too much.

Re-Rate (whilst a tad innebriated) Aroma- Grain, husky. Some esters, but I don’t percieve fruit. It doesn’t have a terrible aroma, just not one associated with a wheat beer. Appearance- Very clear (even when very cold), big head. Pale straw color. Not representative of pomegranate. Flavor- Huge grain/husky flavor. Medium sweetness, A tart fruitiness, which must be a pomegranate flavor, it is not pronounced though. Some medium bitterness. Not a great flavor. Palate- Light body, with medium sweetness. Low-Medium carbonation. Overall- I don’t like it alot, but it’s not bad. Fort Collins makes a quality beer, this is what it is. I don’t like the grainy flavor though. The pomegranate is not pronounced, and it is artificial. I don’t think pomegranate beers are a good idea, because no lucrative business could afford to buy enough to make it worthwhile.

The flavour is remarkably bland for someone expecting pomegranate. A lot more wheat than pomegranate it would seem. Most unique beer ever brewed? Come on. This is decidedly run of the mill.

This beer has very little redeemable features... Pomegranate is faintly noticeable and just tastes like a bad wheat beer... Better ones out there, skip this one...

Head way too big. Aroma nothing great. Flavor is very, very good. Pomegranate flavor is very light but there is a noticeable sourness that is great. Kind of an odd aftertaste but overall a very pleasant beer.

Poured hazy yellow with a big white head. Hint of fruit in the aroma. Refreshing water flavor with a hint of fruit in the finish. Slamed it.

Light yellowish/orange color. A little weak in the wheat and the fruit. Getting some pomegranate on the back end and very faint in the finish. Some toasty grain aromas and a bit of wheat like flavors. Nothing truly stands out here or is memorable enough to make me want to go back and get it again.
