Can. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Nice wheaty and watermelon aroma. Light bodied with average carbonation. Very pale wheat malt backbone countered by flavor of watermelon. Moderate sweetness. Refreshing, but a bit more body and sweetness would take this to the next level, bringing out more of the wheat and watermelon.

Can. Oh, man. This sucked. I love 21st brewery. Big fan of Monk’s Blood and some others. But this really missed a beat. Slight wheat scent, cloudy gold with zero head, light-medium bodied crisp texture, and then bleh, the taste. Watermelon up front, which was strange, but ok. Then a musty, funk that was simply putrid to the tongue. A bubblegum finish made it all the more a funky ride. Bleh.

Can. Orange straw with a small whispy white head. Nose is light watermelon, grain, honey, wheat. Flavor is a little on the sweet side. Nice looking can but thats about it.

Not really sure what to think about this one. Its really light, has a typical wheat ale smell with a touch of watermelon and tastes sweet and watermelony (is that a word?). Not a huge fan of it, glad I only got one can.

Pours a slightly cloudy light orange color with no head. Faint aroma of bread and watermelon. Quite pleasant though. Taste is watermelon and bread/wheat flavor throughout. Very light in flavor and body and very smooth too. Slightly tart and dry in the finish. I could drink a lot of these in the summer. Definitely worth trying if you like watermelon and light wheat ales.

Intirguing sound, but flavor doesn’t fulfill expectations. Watermelon flavor tastes a bit unnatural and wheat beer undertone is a bit below average. Interesting to taste as watermelon adds unique flavor, but may be better served in another style.

Not nearly as bad as it sounds. Cloudy yellow pour. Juicy fruit flavors but finishes smooth and dry. Would not think it was watermelon unless I looked for it. Ultimately more notes from the white of the melon. Unusual dry leathery feel. Quite nice for the summer. Full body but not sweet. Much better than expected.

Good beer. Apparently I enjoyed this beer more than must. Aroma on lighter side with hints of bread and Easters. Taste begins slitly watermelony then finishes like a white beer.

Pours a very hazy straw yellow, with huge head that quickly dissapates. Aroma is malts, sour watermelon, some hops and something horribly funky. Taste is just not right. The watermelon comes through very nice, delicate, natural and fresh. Maybe even some lemon brightness. That’s where anything good ends. The wheat comes through so awful. It is musty and throws this way out of balance and dominates the beer. This beer really could have done without the wheat. It would have been awesome with just the watermelon. Nice try though.

Dark cloudy yellow color with a fizzy head. The Watermelon flavor blends surprisingly well with the wheat and lemon flavors. I’m not a fan of wheat beers, let alone fruit beers but this was okay! It’s nice and crisp and the flavor isn’t half bad!

Poured from the can, color has a slight pink to it, no head, low Carbonation. Aroma is weird, but if I think about it I can find the watermelon. Flavor is similar. Burps up much better, and does finish dry, n just like Niko and Sully like it.
