Tallahassee, Fl - on tap at Fermentation lounge. Murky dark orange pour, slight head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is slightly artificial and reminds me of rubber bands, hints of banana redeem it just a tad. The watermelon is very present in the flavor and is quite refreshing. Pick up some brief clove notes as well. Decently thick mouthfeel for a summer refresher.

First to rate! 8/10/11. On tap at the release in a mini wine glass with a piece of watermelon on the side. Hazy orange/golden pour, I think with a touch of pink, but it’s hard to tell as it’s a bit dim inside. There’s a nice fluffy white head that fades to a ring fast and just barely laces. Definite watermelon aroma but it has to compete a bit with some banana, bubblegum, clove, and other spices. There’s also a definite rubber/balloon aroma as well. Sweet watermelon and bubblegum flavor with a touch of tangy wheat, definite banana, lingering spice, and a hint of vanilla. Not bad, but it’s hard to get over that balloon aroma every time I bring up the glass.
