Found this seaosnla option at the Saranac brewpub at the Albany airport on draft. My expectations were definitely low. Looked a nice ruby with a fair abount of head and carbonation. They could not have balanced out the fruit with the hops and malts any better. Actually quite tasty but not over the top. Not a bad choice at all and worth trying again.

Serving type: on-tap

look: 2.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5

355ml bottle. Shaker glass. Enjoyed on agt´11. Bright golden color, chill haze in appearance. Brief, white, head leaves some spotty lacing on sides. Yeasty – fresh bread- & fruity aromas. Moderate fruit sweetness followed by dry bitterness with grape zest notes. Bread crust hues in the middle, slightly harsh grainy sensation. Medium body, medium carbonation. Quite bland & flat. Not as refreshing as expected from a Pale Wheat.

Appearance - Pours a very hazy, pale yellow color with a half inch thick frothy head that dissipates instantly. Has pretty nice lacing.

Smell - Pale malts, sweet and tarty, and light aroma of pomegranate.

Taste - The pomegranate isn't as strong in the flavor, but it's very sweet/tarty. Pale malts, wheat, and a subtle spiciness at the end. Has minimal bitterness.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with low carbonation.

Overall - It doesn't taste like I expected but it's pretty good.
