On tap-Clear golden color w/a moderate white head. Slight fruity aroma. Flavors of wheat & grass w/a light fruit flavor which reminded me of peaches but I guess is pomegranate (I’ve never had one). Thin, watery mouthfeel; very light brew. Fruit flavor doesn’t overpower the beer, still tastes a little bit like a wheat but without the spice or bitter finish. Not bad, kind of simple; a good, refreshing summer brew, not much more than that. I’d prefer a good Hefe over this any day, but that’s just me.

Nothing about this was anything special. It tasted pretty bland and not very fruity.

Bottle thanks to thanks to zathrus13. Pours with a fizzy off-white head. Hazy amber tinged golden body. Aroma of hay, sweat (yes sweat), metal, cardboard and light fruits. Taste is wheaty and fruit with notes of pink lemonade and pomegranate. FIzzy and dry.

Pours a translucent amber slightly on the yellow side. Very faint pomegranate nose with no other real scents to speak of. Sweet taste with a hint of tartness from the pomegranate juice. Pretty thin body, comparable to a fruit juice.

Pours orange/gold, with a white head. Aroma is fruit, and wheat. Flavor is also light, with pomegranate and peaches. A non-offensive brew, but not much going on overall.

Pours a cloudy amber with carbonation bubbles rising from bottom of glass. A bit of pomegranate tartness came through in the aroma with some yeastiness as well. Smooth palate, just slightly on the thin side. Light on flavor- just noted some pomegranate on the tip of the tongue and after swallowing, but not much else. Got this in their summer mix pack, and had some hope for it. Not too impressive though.
