Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Between now and Labor Day, Anheuser-Busch will be selling Michelob ULTRA Fruit Infused Beers - a line-up of three new flavors available in a 12-bottle variety pack, or a single flavor 6-pack. The flavors include Pomegranate Raspberry, Lime Cactus and Tuscan Orange Grapefruit.
From their website, they recommend certain food pairings for each flavor. They state:
Pomegranate Raspberry: Serve with marinated pork and fresh vegetables. The subtle hint of berry in the beer plays off the tenderness of the meat and the light carbonation brings out the flavors in most grilled vegetables.
Tuscan Orange Grapefruit: Serve with lighter foods such as salads and grilled chicken. The tanginess of grapefruit and clean citrus taste enhances the overall flavor of these dishes.
Lime Cactus: Serve with ethnic fare such as spicy chorizo-based dish or carne asada tacos because the beer balances the dishes' heat and brings out the subtle smokiness. It also pairs well with seafood.
Though it sounds good in theory, I will reserve judgment until I'm able to sample them myself. Don't be too quick to judge until you've tried them though - remember what happened with Miller Chill not too long ago?

Several of our friends, and we couldn't get enough of it. Wish they would sell each individual in the case or 12 pack.. This is something to always keep on hand, goes excellent with gardening.

I happened to stumble across these flavors during the winter here in Carlsbad, NM and I have tried all three, not fond of the lime but love the orange grabefruit and my 2nd choice is the pomagranite reaspberry. I crave the tuscan orange and can't find it anywhere anymore and I will stock pile when and if find it again before labor day comes.

I have tried the Pomegranate-Rasberry and LOVE IT and can drink it any time!!!! I also tried the Lime-Cactus and was not as impressed, but it's ok. It tastes the most like beer (of the two), so it is probably the most favorite for people who love the taste of beer. I want to try the orange one, but have had a really hard time finding these at all in Kansas City, and no one seems to have that one yet.

The pomegranate and grapefruit were too much like wine cooler for my taste. Lime was good, reminded me of a Carona or SOL with lime.
If the fruit flavor was less intense, it might be more to my liking.

Went down like milk to a newborn without that wine cooler, or morning drinker headache. Good clean pickup buzz too, not that "i feel like I gotta pop" feeling.

11-14-2008 @3:46PM Debbie Eisenhauer said... I tried the pomegranate raspberry beer and loved it. I am unhappy though that I can only find it in only one grocery store called "Supersaver" in Lincoln, NE. Why is that?

If you do not like fruit-infused beer in the first place, you don't have to buy it.. but stop criticizing our Michelob Ultra so harshly because there are some of us out there who happen to LOVE IT! It is not too sweet or over flavored at all. What a fantastic summer drink to accompany fresh summer dinners!

I don't know about the Lime Cactus, but the other two sound interesting, especially Pomegranate Raspberry - pomegranate is one of my favorite fruits and I have been overjoyed to see it gain popularity in recent years.

4-29-2007 @4:01PM Brighella said... Those lambics are pretty good, if a little sweet. They have a "plain" version of the lambic that is sweet in its own right without the overpowering sweet of fruit added. The raspberry is definitely the best, with the cherry next. Peach approaches too sweet with the apple being much much too much.
However, that being said, these michelob's dont look all that great to me. I want to see the ingredient panel.

Having tried Michelob once or twice I'm kind of wondering if they're even producing beer!
