Jul 23, 2009 Smells a little fruity and sweet. some sediment onthe bottom of the bottle creates a swirl in the glass. First taste comes on almost like a sour lambic then goes into this alky ale aftertaste. Its almost like they forgot to throw away the pomegranite rind. Interestingly bitter follow thru. Bitterness hangs on and on, like medicine. It would be nice if this stuff remained sour like the start thru-out the whole evolution of the taste sensations. Way to bitter for a good wheat beer. Yes, they forgot to ditch the peel of the pomigranite on this one. Finish is rather rude.

Jul 19, 2009 Tastes and smells like fake fruit injected into a basic run of the mill american wheat. Nothing special here.

Jun 28, 2009 A boring and typical pom/wheat beer. Aroma was weak. A small tanginess of citrus detected but hard to find. Pour was a light cloudy orange with a one finger off white head. Taste was sweet in the beginning then a hint of citrus and wheat in the aftertaste. Problem is the flavor is very weak and one dimensional. Not terrible for a summer beer but very average overall.

Jun 26, 2009 Sampled at Hyun’s bachelor party. Wheat aroma accented by a vague fruit note. Flavor was wheat, a bit of coriander, and a fruity sourness on the finish that was rather refreshing. Easy to drink, and one of the few beers where pomegranate actually seemed to come through a bit. Not as bad as I had feared.

Jun 25, 2009 Pomegranate Wheat Ale with Acai (and coriander). 12oz brown glass twist-top. "Best Enjoyed Before Sept 09."
Appearance: Almost no head, thin white lace. Yellow amber and clear.
Nose: Sweet wheat and blue fruit aromas, like artificial blueberries.
Palate: Somewhat plastic-y fruit flavors, blueberry comes to mind again, and underfermented wheat malt. Very artificial tasting.
Notes: Weak fruit beer. And why would you add coriander to a fruit beer? I just don’t understand.

Jun 4, 2009 Orange-red gold, with fair white head / Sweet, pomegranate nose / Sweet, moderately syrupy with low carbonation and hopping and fair finish / Flavors of burnt sugar, syrup, pomegranate, and wheat / Somewhat clumsy - more hops and carbonation might help.

May 28, 2009 This actually smells very nice; grainy with red fruits. The flavor is fairly sweet with a astringent edge, most likely from pomegranate. Meh.

Apr 23, 2009 Bottle. Nice wheaty aroma. Orange body with an off-white head. Flavor is tangy and malty. Also a touch of fruit. Refreshing and drinkable.
