Sep 4, 2009 12 ounce bottle - $1.99 at Hop City in Atlanta, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, orange-golden body with a well-sized, lasting layer of white foam.
Smell: Sweetish, butterscotch-scented malts with a fruity aroma sweeping in and smelling strongly of pomegranate (the IT fruit of yesterday) and acai berries (the IT fruit of today) with a minute hint of coriander.
Taste: Malted wheat and barley with a sweet touch of butterscotch candy. Then in comes the fruity additions of lightly tart pomegranate and Oprah-approved acai berries, the latter of which has tasted vaguely reminiscent of blackberries on the (very) few times I’ve tried them. Touch of leafy coriander. Light, clean hop bitterness that along with the added coriander helps to provide some balance. Finishes semi-dry and lightly crisp with a lingering fruitiness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It’s fruity, it’s wheaty, it’s sweetish and fine for the one bottle. I’m happy to be getting an extra dose of antioxidants to cancel out all those cell-damaging free radicals while also pickling my liver.

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.

Apr 15, 2009 a well done beer, has a nice full palate with rich malts and oozing hops. slightly fruity due to the style and a touch of pine all the way.

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.

Nov 30, 2009 Peak Pomegranate was a close-out for me @ Union Jack’s in G-side. Three bucks for the pint got me pale fruity Wheat Ale with a soft finish. I don’t usually drink fruit beers Thanksgiving weekend, but happy to try this one.

Jul 26, 2009 Pours clear gold into a tumbler. Bright white head quickly recedes to skim surface. Sour fruit aromas. Tastes like it smells...lasting bitter root finish.

Aug 1, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Very lively pour on this beer; it aggressively overflowed the glass despite a slow pour down the side. Massive white head that faded quickly despite its size to an uneven film. The aroma is pomegranate and husky wheat grain. The flavor is exactly the same as the aroma with pomegranate and husky grains. Medium bitterness at the finish which lingers on the palate for about 10 seconds beyond the swallow.
