Fort Collins Major Toms Pomegranate Wheat

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

The aroma is fruity with yeast, malt, and paper. The appearance is golden with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. This is not one of my favorites and it has a soapy aftertaste.

Light-golden pour into the glass, with an initially huge carbonated head (nitrous-induced, primarily) that leaves 1/2-inch retention and lace down the glass. The nose on this one is of corn notes and some muddied, nondescript, artificial candied citrus. The flavors are of a cheaply designed American wheat, directly integrated with a tart citrus note... sure, call it pomegranate, but it’s not distinct. The palate seems a bit zesty, yet clean. This offering just seems muddy and completely underdone from beginning to end... some macro corn notes pop in and out from time to time. Just ok, that’s about it.

Pours a very clear golden with a mod/high carbonation and thin wispy white head. Aroma is a nice wheat aroma with a slight fruity, almost strawberry-ish note. Flavor starts off with a light pomegranate flavor that moves into a wheat and light citrus hops flavor. Not too bad of a flavor since I was really expecting an overpowering fruit flavor but the flavors present are light and work very well together. Overall not the most special beer out there but a beer I could see myself having a few more once the weather gets pretty warm.

(bottle). Pours a gold color. Small white head. Has a wheat aroma, and wheat and sour tastes. Smooth finish with lively carbonation on the palate.

I was amazed that I could actually drink it- assumed it would be sicky sweet. Don’t think I would want a whole pack, but a single every now and then is likely a good choice.

Bottle. Poured golden with a fizzy white head. Aromas of fruit and wheat. The flavor found wheat, pomegranates, and citrus. Light body with a slight tart finish.

Bottled. Poured honey colored with a white head. Aroma was citrus rinds and peels with wheat notes. Flavor is wheat with some bitter citrus peels and some grapefruit. Slightly dry finish with a medium body.

clear gold under a large white head. not much fruit in aroma. flavor is pretty boring also. just not getting anything from this. slight fruity sweetness.
