doubleo (670), San Diego, California, USA Jun 30, 2008 On-tap at 21A. Pilsner glass with a watermelon wedge. Pours cloudy, light orange/yellow with a moderate white head, some lace. Smells of bready malt and slight watermelon. Tastes bready malty with a nice mellow watermelon flavor through the middle to the finish. Medium body, crisp carbonation. Funny thing was when I ate the piece of watermelon and then drank the brew it tasted weird. 19641948 (476), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA Jun 12, 2008 Plain ol’ alias "Watermelon Wheat" for me. Pours a pale yellow gold with a tremendous white head. Aroma is sweet and summery. Tame and mild, but a definite watermelon scent. Clean. Thin flavor, some wheatiness and mild grains, but a light and airy watermelon character. Fruitiness doesn’t overwhelm as you go on. Refreshing. Ungstrup (10853), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 15, 2008 Canned at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. An unclear yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wheat, watermelon, lactic acid, and youghurt. The flavor is sweet with notes of watermelon and youghurt, leading to a dry wheaty finish. ABUSEDGOAT (1868), California, USA Apr 21, 2008 Draft at brewpub: Hazy golden color. Aroma is basically the watermelon that was put in my glass. Light malt notes, not much else. Creative, but bland. BlackDonald (723), On a beer trip all over the USA, California, USA Apr 18, 2008 ABBF ’08 - Eh, this beer was what I expected it to be, but then I am slightly biased because of canned beer 1 and for 2, I hate watermelons. Somewhat watery, with no real or substantial wheat qualities, somewhat grainey, just an ever so slight hint of watermenlon which is somewhat sour and leads to a disappointing finish. The only thing reminiscent of a wheat beer is the slight bit of bubblegum flavor. Bland!
