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!

On tap at the Brewery. Pours a hazy gold with a decent head. Smells of wheat and pomegranate. Tastes of wheat with a bit of a sweet after taste.

This is most certainly a very different wheat-style beer. There is a ton of fruity flavors and a very sweet and tart body. The beer pours a semi-cloudy gold color with a very huge head. But the head didn’t leave much of a lacing, though, around the glass. The nose was very fruity, with hints of grass and hops. The body was very smooth and drinkable, as well. The flavors featured sweet notes of fruit, pineapple, grapefruit and slight hops. The finish was very sweet and tart. This was definitely a one-of-a-kind beer, at least for now. An enjoyable fruity wheat beer.

Clear yellow color with a finger of nice white head. Mostly wheaty aroma, some non-descript fruity sweetness. Taste is sweet (pomegranate? if you say so) then light wheat malt and a light malt hoppiness.

Very light pour with a very light fruit aroma. Was there even any pomegranite in here? Doubtful. The brew was blended alright but the flavor was so bland. Not much happening here.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a very small head. The aroma is sweet fruity notes and some wheat. The taste is a odd mix of tartness and bitterness; sweet wheat flavors mix with mostly tart pomegranate and lots of bitter hops. An odd sort of concoction, I can’t say it is in any way bad though.
