Don't Take Your Margaritas For Pomegranate
Mirror Twin Brewing

Pomegranates in the winter, margaritas in the summer and then there's the spring season stuck right smack-dab in between. There's a beer for that and the brewers at Mirror Twin are your tastebud's seasonal tour guide.

Light mauve and a shade darker than pink, the firm rosy appearance precedes Don't Take Your Margaritas For Pomegranate's tangy lemonade and berry-like scents. Gentle wine notes bring a spice to the nose while a splash of kool-aid, light taffy and agave lays a light and malty foundation.

While the beer's under current of lime, lemon, green apple, tart berries and sour gooseberries frame a citrusy taste that's keen with margarita nuances, the pomegranate adds an element of depth that adds a pink lemonade character to the lime accented drink. A light vinous spice comes in late as a taste of sourdough accompanies a sour dominant final frame.

Light, crisp and refreshing, the beer is off-dry for a Berlinerweiss but is rewarded by the depth of richness from the winter berries and a rounded kiss of brine.
