Ground Control to Major Tom. You're cleared to try the most unique beer ever brewed. A nice, slightly sweet-tart Wheat Beer brewed with pomegranates. Excitingly different!

Pours clear yellow with a very small white head. Nose is faint soapiness. Wheat flavor with some rather cloying pomegranate. Pretty flat mouthfeel. Not that much fun.

Poured an average head with nice lacing. Fruity aroma. Flavor of fruit,wheat and grains with something sweet. Very watery body. I should have saved this for warmer weather, I might have rate it higher then.

Crushed at the Pumphouse Spring Beer Festival. Pretty bland. Some fruit and lemon on the nose. Not much to offer in flavor, but minimal poop makes it at least smooth.

tap @ OTH Pours golden, thin white head. Aroma, wheat, light fruits, yeasty. Taste, light wheat, feels like pomegranate extract with a light fruit tartness. Light hops and some malts, finish is boring. Just weak and uninteresting beer.

12oz bottle, Mixed 12pk. This is ground control to Major Tom, you beer is very clear. It is golden yellow, with a white head. It doesn’t smell like POM juice, more like a wheat ale in a peculiar way. Flavor has a bit of light tartness to it. Mostly wheat malt, very grain. Nice hop, maybe it is the bitterness from the pomegranate fruit. Regardless, there is a bitter balance to the beer. Would I buy a 6pk of this beer or order on tap at the brewery? Hell no! I do look forward to it in a mix variety pack though.

12oz bottle. Pale filtered yellow with a foamy head that fades away. Sweet malty aroma with a touch of pungent fruit. I don’t really get pomegranate, just a nice vague fruity pungency. Some light bitter hops really help keep it crisp and drinkable. Ok.

Pours a clear golden color with a real small head. Smells of fruit and grains. Reminded me of a Fruit ’N Fiber commercial. Tastes of tart fruit, soft grains, and hints of grass. Finishes just lightly bitter. Despite all of that, I really had to focus and concentrate to pick all that up. This beer at first sip seems rather bland and slightly tart with a slightly bitter finish.
