12oz bottle. Poured a medium and slighty hazy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of I guess pomegranate (I can’t place it and I don’t have too much experience with pomegranates) with some faint wheat in the background. Tastes of pretty much the same. Has a lighter tartness to it.

Bottle… Pours clear and yellow with a small, transparent head. The bouquet is built upon piny, musky hops and pale grains with a restrained fruit component. Medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. The flavor starts with a pomegranate twang, but that quickly cedes to moderate, earthy, bitterness. Finishes lightly bitter, earthy and a touch dry.

12 oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and yellow color. Aroma is sweetish, grain/wheat, chamomile?, slightly off. Taste is musty/sweet grain/wheat, some fruit/chamomile? Is it pomegranate juice concentrate or real pomegranate, read the label-its both. Mild carbonation. Not my taste.

Bottle courtesy of illinismitty. Pours amber with a nice white head. Smells of wheat, some grass. Tastes of pomegranates, wheat, citrus. Decent.

Personal Milestone: Colorado rating #100 (out of 2324)!

I think this would make a solid Summer brew. Deep gold in body with a minimal head, it’s got an aroma of wheat, yeast, and tart pomegranate (Surprise!). The slight sourness makes it a crisp, snappy drink. The flavor is wheat with zest of lemon, followed by pomegranate in the finish. Resfreshing.
