Ever-so-slightly hazy deep copper and bronze coloured body with a light brown glow and tints of ruby as well, all with a thinnish, single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of dry grass, grain, light fruit, some bitter herbal hops with a touch of nuts and sticky toffee at the end. Medium-bodied; Fresh pomegranate, grape and cherry notes are evident at first, with a dry hop profile that shows some specialty grains, more of the toffee and caramelised sugar notes and a hint of floral and grassiness that dries out the palate at the very end. Aftertaste is very crisp and robust with both fresh grassy hops and a lot of fresh pomegranates really coming through at the end and making it bitter throughout. Overall, a surprisingly nice and very well executed beer to get the pomegranate to mix well with all the hops. Great to sample, especially fresh! Worth trying to find, especially if you really like pomegranate fruit or juice! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 19-May-2020 for US$4,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 24-May-2020.
