Not having much of a pomegranate background, except through Bible references, I took my chance on our deck Memorial evening...my wife tells me they are also called "Chinese apples" and are rather expensive...one wonders how Saranac could "afford" to brew them into a sampler....pours an effervescent orange/brown haze; fizzing head reduces to small tracings...citrus notes with acidic appeal...all is working for this brew until the chew, which really is like chewing bark or some sort of forest timber...the taste mellows, unchallenging but leaving a lingering juicelike aftertaste...really not my thing, as authentic lambics, guezes and saisons handle the fruit realm with much more authority...

Golden color somewhere in between yellow and pink grapefruit. Drops a ton of carbonation, makes a 4/5" head, average retention. Had some kind of fruit juice smell, like those apple juices with other berries to change the color.

Taste is overly sweet, did they just homebrewer shortcut this one and dump pomegranate juice into a beer? Wheat base not enough to overcome cloying sweetness.

Beetus joke here.
