light strawberry blond with a 2 finger head that dissipates fast. smells of yeast, tropical fruit, american hops, wheat. flavor is strawberry, orange, white grape, light hop. sweet(too much so) and crisp. mouth feel at least compliments with a spritzery feel. was hoping the pomegranate would be more present, dryer, tart. not offensive but not intriguing either.

I can definitely taste the tartness of the pomegranate, but overall this beer did not impress me. Interesting but there are a lot of other beers i would rather have.

12oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazed golden body with a finger-width, fizzy, white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is a floral bouquet of sweet grainy wheat, pomegranate sweet fruits, a light pomegranate tartness, a touch of yeast, and a hint of hop bitterness. Mostly sweet fruits with a somewhat tart wheat. Not bad. Flavor is an enjoyable zesty, sweet wheat up front with some citrus and pomegranate. Smooth wheat in the middle with a noticable sweetness before it finishes with a grassy bitterness that quickly dries and leaves a moderate aftertaste. Medium body, crisp, clean, and smooth. Overall, a nice tasting wheat. Sweet with a nice fruitiness that has just a slight tartness, plenty of balancing wheats, and a decent grassy bitterness. Crisp, balanced, and tasty. Not bad at all.

12oz bottle from total wine and more in atlanta. The final of six fort collins I’ve had for the first time from a mix six. Aroma is wheat, hay, grain and apples. flavor is lightly sweet malt taste and then lightly bitter. guess I get a bit of the pomegranate in there somewhere. fairly average stuff here. not a fan of the brewery at this point.

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.

Draught. Light yellow with white head. Aromas are sweet fruity (pomegranate), yeasty/doughy, and floral notes. Flavor is wheat, fruit and lemon/lime citrus light hops.

12 oz. bottle. A pleasant, lightly fruity smell to start with. Looks like a regular beer, puffy head that dwindled quickly. Taste runs to the sour side, like DFH Festina Peche. I find myself rather liking it. I was concerned about the "pomegranate extract" as mentioned on the label, but it’s just a little bit saccharine. Very dry finish. Worth a try.
