Brewed with the juice of over 10,000 luscious pomegranates, ORIGIN is a complex, rich and balanced Imperial Amber Ale with a truly unique character. The pomegranate juice is added during fermentation, leaving only the residual sugars, which serve to balance the hop bitterness.

Onb tap at the Bocktown, nice place. Probably better than saranacs. Smells slightly fruity and it has a cloudy look about it. Iced at that. Quite tasty at first then it morphs into this malt feeling. The malt builds through the session. Seems a little high in the alky and now I see it is 8%! Finish is somewhat medicinal like cough medicine.

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a vivid red-orange color with a large orange-white head. The aroma was tart sweet berries. The flavor was tart and bitter with a sharp berry presence and tangy malts and honey underneath. The finish was long with tangy berries. Decent.

bottle - Pours hazy orange with a thin, off-white head and smells of malt, spice, and a trace of fruit. It tastes sweet with a touch of bitterness in the finish. The dark fruit, pomegranate obviously but I wouldn’t have known for sure without seeing the label, is there but it’s pretty mild. Mostly it’s just sweet malt burying that 8% abv. It’s alright, but this brewery can definitely do better.

Bottle shared by cdumler. Thanks! Orange pour with a small head. Hoppy aroma dominated by pomegranate. Multidimensional taste was caramel... pomegrate... caramel. Pomegranate is a little much. Full bodied.
