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.

Location: 22 oz bottle, 4/16/10
Aroma: Nose is fruit juicy and malty
Appearance: Hazy burnt orange, lacy beige head
Flavor: Somewhat sweet, malty, not much bitterness
Palate: Smooth, low carbonation, light-medium body
Overall Impression: Decent beer, not one of the better things I've ever tried, but this stuff has an OK flavor to it. Rather sweet, and fruity (though I wouldn't have necessarily pegged it as pomegranate without reading the bottle).

500ml. Murky brown-amber color, frothy, soapy head. Very nice aroma, potent alcohol, pomegranate, and amber malt all collide. The taste is not dissimilar. Some pleasant fruity edges around a big, Belgian-like, amber malt body. A very nice offering from Hebrew, the pomegranate complements the big amber malt body excellently. Bonus points for ingenuity.

Bottle 65cl. @ Chriso’s pre GBBF Shindig ’09.Clear medium orange amber color with a average, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, moderate to light light heavy hoppy, grapefruit, orange, fruity notes - must be the pomegrante !! not that I can spot it without reading the label. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090801]

’08 bottle Pours cloudy orange, thick beige head. Aroma is malty with hints of fruits, and hops. Flavor, faint pomegranate, fruit profile was a little weak, pomegranate adding only to some extra bitterness, malty finish with some spices and bitter hop finish.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, dusty hops, alcohol, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of fruits - citrusy, malt, and caramel, leading to a bitter finish with notes of pomegranates.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of yespr/Ungstrup. Clear deep golden with an off-white head. Oxidized fruity aroma. Medium body, sweet solid malts, caramel and fruit, with some hoppiness and a burning alcohol finish. The pomegranate is not that upfront. 130909
