Jul 29, 2007 Bottle. Pours with a small frothy white head, mostly diminishing. Body is a clear orange amber. Aromas of light caramel malt, average hops..resin/grapefruit, wet cardboard and possibly pomegranate but I may be searching for that one. Medium body with a sticky texture, light flat carbonation. Finish is bitter in an harbally woody kind of way. Flavor is average in duration, moderately sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Not much pomegranate flavors in this "pomegranate ale", I would say it’s done in a subtle way and with balance. While I’d say there is nothing overtly wrong with the brew, there is nothing spectacular about it either. It does warm the belly some and hides the alcohol well. I doubt I’ll come back for another.

Jul 26, 2007 A clear dark amber ale with thick off white hed. Aroma is malty and hoppy, pungeant. In mouth, a very nutty malt, with roasted bitterness, and pinhey hops, maybe some notes of oranges, but no pomegranate. Body is rich and pleasing, and nice alcohol in final. Overall, a good strong ale.

Jul 25, 2007 Not too much interesting going on here in terms of intangibles, but this is a tasty change of pace brew. Smells sweet, almost sickly sweet; looks just like every other basic amber out there. However if it tastes bomb I could care less about these things. This bad boy is pretty fucking scrumptious. It’s sweet-ish, dark-ish, totally balanced. And at 8% it wrecks shops but you can’t taste a hint of it. I dunno about pomegranate, but this tastes like cherries with a bit of espresso and a splash of booze.

Jul 20, 2007 Pour is a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is decent with lots of piney hops. Flavor is very tart which is guess is the pomegranate but also has a fruity swetness along with some caramel malts. Not really a fruit beer, more of a decent IPA.

Jul 20, 2007 Medium coarse offwhite head. Red-brown body. Sweetish fruity licorice roasty aroma. Deep, sweet intense peppery fruity malty taste with metallic spicy notes. Some grape, as well. Bitter taste of grapeskins with sweetish malty notes lingers. Very nice! (0.65l bottle, thanks to gr0ve.)

Jul 15, 2007 bomber. slight bronze color with reddish hues. small light tan head is present but fades fast. aroma is made of two main things a tart fruitiness and piney cascade hops. medium to full body with pleasant juicy fruit flavors that are supported by a little caramel malt. honestly if they hadn’t advertised the pomegranate i wouldn’t have been able to guess. much like dogfish’s aprihop, the fruit is pretty subdued. the hops that stand out on the nose only briefly turn up on the end with a lingering tangy flavor for the finish
