Can thanks to AJ. Pours a hazy gold with small white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is cereal, wheat, berry, pomegranate. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, light finish, decent.

Bottle shared by Stacey on 8/22/18. Thanks.....
Pours a lightly cloudy, canary-tinted, brass yellow-golden with a medium-sized, white head showing moderately-low retention.
Hmmm, smells sugary. Is that pomegranate? Could be. Could be just about any other "fruit" you want it to be because it's pretty artificial/candy-smelling. Cereal, biscuit and a pinch of acidity, citrus-like, seemingly thrown in as an afterthought. But mostly weird sugars.
In the mouth it's extremely sweet. Not even getting much shandy, really. Mostly just cherry lollipop-like sugary sweetness with fizzy carbonation though not a terribly thin texture (the sugar helping with that). After a few sips, finding no pomegranate and no real fruit, nor even much in the way of lemonade, it goes down the drain, as expected.

Pours a cloudy pineapple juice color with a large white head and great retention. Light body. Spotty lacing. Taste is a mix of wheat ale and sweetened grapefruit (not bitter). Tasty and refreshing dessert beer.

Cheap bottle from grocery big thanks to this brewery for making it easy to tick off the shandy style. Smells of pretty nice pomegranate. Tastes fruity some lemon and wheat. Not too sweet. Pretty good for what it is.

Bottle, pour is plain yellow. Smell is candy sweet. Taste is sweet as well, perhaps a little artificial and fruity. Pretty good co2. Could not drink two of these. Has an almost perfume flavored finish.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 1/9/2018. Pours very hazy golden yellow/light orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lightly tart pomegranate, berry, lemon, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of pomegranate, pale malt, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart pomegranate, berry, lemon, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, light honey, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very mild herbal bitterness fruit tartness, and wheat tang on the finish. Lingering notes of lightly tart pomegranate, berry, lemon, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, honey. herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pomegranate, pale malt, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitter/tart/tangy balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from tang/tartness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly sticky/acidic mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a delicious shandy. All around nice robustness and balance of pomegranate, pale malt, and light fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful for the low ABV, never watery feeling. Great balance between fruit and pale wheat ale flavors. One of the best in their series of shandies I've had yet. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
