HogTownHarry (3129), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada May 13, 2008 Bottle (22oz). My bottle shared with blankboy, garthicus and tupalev. Clear amber, small diminishing off-white head. Sweet aroma, floral, tart fruit. Taste - mostly tart fruit, herbal bitter finish. Average, moderately acidic body - pretty tasty.
Guinness4Duff (389), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA Jul 6, 2008 Bottle. Amber pour with an off white head. Aroma is lightly piney/floral with a grapefruit accent. Pomegranite is not overpowering, more like an amber ale in character than a fruit beer. Pretty good. 17thfloor (566), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 3, 2008 Pours a clear but dull light ruby with a thin bubbly white froth. Sweet fruity malt aroma with definite pomegranate and some citrus hops, smells sticky. This is a great fruit beer!!! because it is a beer first... then fruit second. The pomegranates merge so harmoniously with what seems like a rye ipa. The pomegranates add just the right amount of sweet/tartness for the grapefruit flavor. Glassy body, medium full, with smooth bubbly carbonation. This is a very very underrated beer.... [reminds me of dieu du ciel] dalepryor (145), St. Petersburg, Florida, USA Jun 28, 2008 copper/orange pour with off white head, aroma is typical of an amber ale with a slight fruit funk, the flavor is slightly bitter but I’m not picking up the pomegranate maybe a little bit at the back of my throat but not as much as what i was expecting. Overall I think this is good as an amber ale but not a fruit beer. dkachur (582), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Jun 25, 2008 Bottle shared by cdumler. Thanks! Orange pour with a small head. Hoppy aroma dominated by pomegranate. Multidimensional taste was caramel... pomegrate... caramel. Pomegranate is a little much. Full bodied. pintbypint (872), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Jun 24, 2008 1PT, 6Fl oz, brown bottle. Deep gold/amber in colour, compact whitish head which is creamy, leaves sticky blotchy lace in the glass. Aroma is sweetish with a trace of grapefruit. In the mouth, the beer has some fruity malts (berry notes), caramel malts, grapefruity hops come out near the end. Moderate bitterness with a little fruit sweetness in the finish. Medium body, a little syrupy. Light carbonation profile.
