This wholesome combination of unfiltered wheat beer and real pomegranate juice makes a smooth refreshing beer with all the goodness of pomegranate. Look for a light body with a slight tart finish and golden straw color.Beer Style: Fruit Ale

Bottle from De Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Drunk in the sun by a canal, happy to be out of the UK for the royal wedding. This ended up being a lot better than anticipated.The Pomegrante aspect is refreshing and quite light. Some slight tartness towards the finish. A perfectly decent thirst quenching hot day guzzler. Possibly a little harshly treated on here.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Hazy orangeish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, mildwheat, some bananas as well as mild spicyness. Flavour is a lot of fruits, some wheat, mild bananas as well as some slight spicy and herbal notes. Refreshing.

Pours hazy gold with weak white head. The meek aroma struggles to offer up faint notes of vague fruitiness and malty sweetness and really nothing else. The taste is smooth at first with sweet malts and wheat and then slowly giving ground to pomegranate fruit juices with a carbonation enhanced tingle. It ends with faint floral hops peaking through. I enjoy the balance between malt, wheat and fruit. Better experience than I was expecting.

This fruit beer poured a light yellow, slightly yellow colour with a quickly living head. To the nose there are scents of dough, gravy, citrus and hay? First sip’s mouhtfeel was slightly thin with flavours of cinnamon and citrus hops. Finish is thin and a little sweet with a finite bitter hop flavour trying to come through.

(bottle, 35.5cl) Cloudy, orange-golden colour with a dense mid-sized and slightly off-white foamy head. Sweet and a bit dusty bready malty aroma with a touch of wheat and shy fruity notes. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a rather soft carbonation for a Weizen. Malty, slightly bready and milky taste with a light to moderate wheat-character and late arriving fruity accents; sweet and mildly bitter finish with a more or less present fruity touch. Not overly convincing. 25.X.10

Pours a hazy bright gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface leaving slight sheets. Cloying marshmallow and fruit aromas. Sweet and fruity upfront turning to sour pomegranate in the cloying finish.

Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a thin fast-fading white head. Aroma of pale malt, cardboard, light fruits and not much else. Light-bodied; Sharp metallic and cardboard flavour with some odd funkiness and not much else - very mild and very plain - no fruits, no wheat, no nothing. Aftertaste shows a bunch of cardboard and some metal - nothing else. Overall, a pretty bad beer - but this was expected, as it’s a Saranac beer. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 15-June-2010, sampled at home in Washington on 22-June-2010.

Bottle from Bevmo in Natomas. Pours hazy gold with a foamy white head. Light aromas of fruit and grain. Medium minus body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is light fruit, but quite persistent. It almost eclipses the wheat. More dry than not. Lightly flavored, but drinkable.
