Keg @ Shuffledog, Leeds. Deep amber in colour with a small head. The pomegranate is light but evident in both aroma and taste, providing a light appealing sweetness to an ale with an easy-drinking texture.

Clear red beer, off white head. Soft, fruity aroma. Flavour is a touch more direct. Apple, toffee, citrusy hop. A bit of sour, zesty aftertaste. A light, sweet, malty flavour just cutting through it all a bit. Lovely.

On tap @ BrewDog, Soho. This one has a blurry deeper golden looking color. On the top there's a medium sized lacing beigeish head, lots of lacings down the glass. On the aroma it has a soft biscuity sweetness. Malt-caramel and a little red Berry fruitiness. It sure has a distinct flavor this. Really candy sweet - yet it has a strong bitterness. Weed-bitterness. It's mild oily in the mouth and it's just above average on the carbonation. A little astringent after a while. Good old saft. Dry long tail. A little strange perhaps, but I still kinda liked it. 21.10.2016

Keg at BDSB. It pours hazy dark red with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, very fruity, massive pomegranate vibe, jammy and Victoria sponge. The taste is bitter - sweet, jammy, loads of pomegranate, strawberry lipbalm, light spice, muffing, Victoria sponge, earthy and pithy citrus with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Smells good, tastes a bit weird.
