Peak Pomegranate Wheat is a refreshing, yet intricate ale brewed with locally grown organic wheat, organic coriander and a touch of organic Pomegranate and Acai juice from our friends at Sambazon. Not as sweet as many fruit beers, the Pomegranate Wheat has a soft, round mouthfeel from the local, un-malted wheat. The spice from the coriander and the subtle sweetness from the Pomegranate and Açai are a perfect complement.

Draft. Poured gold. Strong fruity aromas and almost sickly sweet and syrupy. Not so great.

12 oz. bottle purchased at Trader Joe’s Portsmouth, NH. Color shows a light copper color with fast disappearing head. Aroma is pomegranate seeds and dry dusty wheat.
Flavor is light sweet berry through out the sip with malted wheat and a weak yeast finish. The body is watery thin and displayed a light syrup type texture. Syrup is the only way to describe the texture but it is not a real great description because of how watery it really is. To me it tastes like some sort of berry extract but... They say this is all organic. One sample and I will never return.

Strong yeasty barley nose with an unripe berry accent. Bubbly clear amber, thin head. Yeasty tart pomegranate flavor. Doughy wheat finish, not too harsh. Exactly what it purports to be. Solid, refreshing.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run. Pours an amber color with a slight haze. Medium sized fizzy white head. Fair head retention. Aroma of pomegranate, berries, scuppernongs, mild wheat. The taste is wheat, caramel, earth and a tart pomegranate finish. Thin-medium bodied. Decent.

Pours clear golden yellow with a small white head and no real lacing. Aroma is wheat, grain, a touch of spice, fruit (pomegranate). Flavor is the same with light sweetness and no bitterness. Light bodied. Meh.

Well, its about what you’d expect. Light bodied, a little wheaty, with strong fruity overtones. However, there was at least an interesting tartness to the fruit that was kind of funky, and if you used your imagination, you could almost think you had an unblended lambic in your hands. Not a very good one, but still. Near straw color. Side note: why does the commercial description make such a big deal about the acai addition, but the beer is named only after the pomegranate?
