Sep 16, 2006 22 oz bomber. Pours an amber coppery color with a small white head. Aroma is malty with a hint of sour wood. Taste is malty with hints of lemon zesty bitterness. Pomegranate juice is slightly detectable as well. Slightly better than average.

Sep 15, 2006 Oh boy! - My 2nd pomegranate ale! In this one, it doesn’t have a strong presence, mainly a fruity aftertaste way late in the finish. Nice pour, a clear, deep reddish gold with a a frothy off-white, yellow-tan head that does some fine lacing. The aroma is sweet and malty, lightly fruity (not really identifiable as pomegranate), a mild herbal bitterness, and a suggestion of the hefty ABV. Medium bodied with a peppery feeling on the tongue, it’s malty and sweet with an almost lemon zest-like bitterness, some berries, and an even stronger suggestion of the hefty ABV. It finishes on a hot, malty, fruity note - a citric seed type bitterness at the very end, along with an appearance of pomegranate. The hefty ABV is no longer a suggestion once it enters the bloodstream. I like it. I don’t thin k I would’ve called it a fruit beer because of the addition of some pomegranate juice. I vote for Belgian Strong Ale. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Beverage Depot, Orland Park, IL<font size=-1>

Sep 13, 2006 Dark amber coloured with some reddisch hints and a small off-white head. Sweeter roasted malty aroma, fruits. Again in the taste fruity notes with some roasted alcohol, malts with a more bitter alcoholic fruity finish.

Sep 13, 2006 Bottle at Uber. Interresting. Clear amber with no head. Very sweet and malty, can definitely taste the juice. Gives it a nice small fruit taste....not overwhelming.

Sep 11, 2006 Yellowish head, fast gone; colour as dark Armenian brandy. Soap, ginger, alcohol and old clothes in the nose. Old clothes again in the taste (I chew some regularily). Sweet, quite some alcohol and roasted malts. Brandy-ish MF, lactic and powerful, but not too imposing that it might be repulsive. Special one. A tad too much alcohol, but after all, one you’re glad to have had.

Sep 10, 2006 [2nd Low Countries RateBeer meeting] Aroma is fruity, cascade, but in a more subtle way. Not the massive stuff. Clear, copper-red coloured with an off-white head. Taste is sweet, hopbitter, caramel malty, fruity. Full bodied and well-balanced. Very good.

Sep 10, 2006 Bottled, my #1 at the LCRBM. Sweet, fruity cascade aroma in a very good way. Red color, yellow head, good lace. Sweet, bitter, hops, dough and caramel. Sticky and soft. Yummy!
