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.

Not a lot to this beer. Moderately hopped. Some malt in the flavor. Very light fruit-sourness, and it doesn’t especially taste like any particular fruit. An interesting idea.

Another Hebrew "pomegranate" beer, which means all hops and no pomes. Poured into a Cantillon rounded goblet with almost no head, color is dark copper with a good amount of clarity. Aroma is all hop with resiny cherry and grapefruit. Ttaste is a more watered down version with some cheap tasting caramel. A medium bitterness kicks in at the end. Overall comes out as a cheap DIPA, which would be normal considering Jeremy is calling this an Imperial Amber. I feel empty and cheated in the end.
