Draft sample. Poured hazy yellow color with an average fizzy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate complex watermelon and hop aroma. Light to medium body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Refreshing soft brew.

Had this in July of 2010, rating from notes. Other than a faint hint of cereal, the only detectable aroma is watermelon. Very light in color and taste, with the predominant flavor being watermelon. Pretty thin body, this wheat ale does nothing more than quench my thirst.

Tap sample I must admit, so I did not take much notes, It is what it is, a moderate fruity pale ale that would appeal to the Alcopop drinkers. Crisp and lively, thin bodied and short finish. The sample was more than enough to convince me that this is not my cup of tea (or pint of brew).

On Tap at Figure 8 Brewing, Valparaiso. Aroma:A hint of watermelon. A little fried egg/sulphur in the aroma. Appearance:Crystal Clear, pale yellow. Taste:This is a fairly weak beer. The hops come through nicely, and there is a little watermelon in here. Palate:Very light body, good carbonation. Overall:I’m not sure I like this one all that much, it’s a little weak on flavor. I may have been hoping for more watermelon.
