21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon Wheat

Brewed by 21st Amendment Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
San Francisco, California USA

Mild muddled watermelon aroma... Medium hazy copper... Tingly mouthfeel... mild watermelon flavored wheat ale... average in every way...

Particularly nice, given the 100+ degree day on which I drank it, and for the fact that the watermelon flavor was subtle rather than cloying.

Hazy straw body with a substantial white head. Grainy wheat malt prominent in the medium bodied creamy drink. The watermelon is very noticeable with a berry-like fruit presence, lacking sweet or tart character. I think the watermelon amplifies the grainy maltiness with that residual presence watermelon tends to leave in the mouth. Interesting drink but I would be suspicious of anyone who thought it a good idea to get a six pack of this.

GABF 2009: Very light beer but very nice and refreshing. Well made, too. Balanced, with a clean finish. Watermelon flavor was really mild but it had a really nice watermelon aroma. Surprisingly enjoyable, and it would make a great summer thirst quencher.

Brought back by my buddy from out west: Pours a bright cloudy yellow colour with a fairly large white head. Immediately im smelling that watermelon wheat. Some raspberries but mainly watermolen. Mouthfeel is very creamy and well carbonated, but it’s hard to get over that watermelon jolly rancher sweetness. It’s a bit too much for my taste.

Can. A slightly hazy gold pour with a smallish off-white head. A sweet/tangy aroma of watermelon, yeasty wheatiness, and lemon rinds. Goes down thin-bodied. The flavor starts off sweet and tangy with plenty of watermelon. A bit on the artificial side. A grainy wheatiness follows. A crisp finish with some sour lemon. Very refreshing and poundable.

Watermelon smell hits you right off. Light color and very clear. Watermelon is just right. Not too little but not cloyingly sweet either.

Can ( 12oz ). Shared with blankboy, courtesy of my buddy Austin. Hazy gold, floaties, smallish white frothy head. Aroma - weirdly sourish peach or other fruity/vegetable - not bad, just ... weird. The taste is pretty solid watermelon - hardly any alcohol - pungently floral - again, odd, but nice. Watery, still body, slightly sour tingle left in the linger - pretty odd, I doubt I’d drink it again.
