radagast83 (1273), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Jun 21, 2009 12 oz can. Aroma is citrus, banana, wheat, and a touch of fruit - watermelon. It’s an interesting beer, mostly watery watermelon (go figure) with a touch of wheat beer. It’s not a bad beer - drinkable, but it’s something that I don’t think would be too appetizing if I wasn’t out in the hot sun for hours before. Bradrcr (778), Renton, Washington, USA Jun 19, 2009 6/18/09 on draft at the nhc. Aroma is quite sour citrus with faint wheat fruitiness. Appearance is hazy straw with a low white head. Flavor is very light and one dimensional, like watered down smarties. Mouthfeel is medium-low bodies with a medium carb texture and light creaminess. Overall, this was actually a very easy drinking brew that just makes you want more flavor. fredandboboflo (1395), East Setauket, New York, USA Jun 18, 2009 Growler. Aroma of wheat, lemony citrus, banana, bubblegum. Flavor continues to have lovely, well-balanced wheaty and yeasty notes with a touch of watermelon jolly rancher that doesn’t get in the way of things but also adds a nice sweet-tart aspect to go along with the straight-sweet wheat notes. Pretty creamy mouthfeel as well, crisp and refreshing at the finish. What makes this one for me is that it’s a really solid wheat all around, and the subtle watermelon twist just adds a little extra. Impressive. illkarate (89), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Jun 17, 2009 Well... I like beer. I also like watermelon. However, this beer is terrible. Almost an artificially sweet taste to this. 12oz can... Barely drinkable... baraciisch (138), USA Jun 15, 2009 Pale yellow in color... Wheaty aroma... Flavor initially has hints of watermelon which kind of overshadows the wheat flavor of the beer and makes it taste slightly watery and bland... Finish isn’t terribly exciting, but is more characteristic of a wheat than the flavor... Okay beer. keepersj12 (774), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA Jun 15, 2009 This really had no aroma at all. Nothing to tell you it had watermelon in at anyway. It poured hazy yellow with a fluffy head. Taste was very refreshing. You got a hint of watermelon at the end of the sip. Clean finish. Nice on a hot day. njbfr (105), New Jersey, USA Jun 11, 2009 Had to try it. Not often you see a fruit like watermelon used in a beer. Not as bad as i thought. Still a beer. Not as fruity as other beers which is both good and bad. Watermelon is barely detectable but is welcome in this crisp wheat beer. Not as sweet as i’d like, but nonetheless worth a try. mpersinger (176), , California, USA Jun 9, 2009 Draft sample poured barely golden and somewhat hazy. Real watermelon presence (a bit like agua fresca) complimented by creamy mouthfeel from wheat. Restrained malt flavors, no detectable hops and clean yeast make for balanced and restrained offering.
