Transparent gold, thin head medium carbonation. Smells like a watermelon cooler of some kind. Heavy artificial watermelon with alcohol and malt offerings to the tongue. Finishes sugary sweet. Doesn’t taste like summer in a bottle. Not a good example of a wheat ale and not a good example of a flavoured ale. I am grateful to have been able to taste it, but will not go out of my way to have it again. Thanks for the experience Lagerboy!

smells like fresh fruit and summer and alcohol color is light and little white head first taste was watermelon now its just wheat and alcohol not the best wit beer or a second time buy

Pours a clear straw yellow color with a small head that leaves no ring. Aroma is sweet like passion fruit and has some wheat and some kind of funky Esther. Taste is an awful spice and wheat mixed with sweet/sour watermelon. Terrible fruit beer.

Pours a mostly clear straw-yellow with a small ring of white lace. Aroma is quite sweet, fruity and watermelon candy with notes of wheat and honey. There are sweet honey like flavours with some wheat finishing with some light coriander and light-medium sour watermelon extract. I see where they were going and it’s definitely creative just not the best wit or fruit beer I’ve had.

Poured from 341mL bottle. Clear pale golden colour with white head and substantial bubbles. Some light malt aromas with watermelon jolly rancher. Tastes like it smells, but very light, almost watery.

Bottle. Clear medium gold, average white head, no lace. Aroma is quite soapy, with perfumey watermelon accents. Palate is wheat, but with a soapy quality that trumps the watermelon flavour. Also a fair amount of bitter lemon character. Certainly not sweet, which usually is a desirable trait in fruit beers for me, but the flavours here were more bitter and soapy than I like.

Bottle. Golden yellow, steady carbonation and only a ring of foam. Tart fruit scent might be watermellon. Flavour is watermellonish, lightly tart and lightly beer. Almost has a Kriekness to it.

Pours an almost clear golden, head dose not last. Aroma is melon, grass not to plea sent. Taste is same melon with a weird aftertaste.

not bad at all. easy to drink with a sweet melon fruitiness and some light wit spice. mellow and smooth with a crisp wheat taste. overall not bad...easy to drink session brew

On tap. Pours a hazy yellow with little head. Aromas of light malts and fruit candy. Flavors of sweetened lemon juice and something like watermelon flavored candy. Other hard to place melon tastes. Interesting.
