What Our Editors Thought

“Strong watermelon-and-cucumber nose, with a fresh definition and lively appeal. Softer wheat body. Just the right amount of anise-like bitterness balances the sweeter fruit. Masterfully balanced between intensity of character and drinkability.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Imagine the most refined parts of watermelon, then add that to a refreshing wheat beer. Earthy watermelon notes in the aroma with just a hint of candy character. The sip is impressively not sweet, coming across more like watermelon rind or cucumber. Crisp, tart, refreshing.”

What the Brewers Say

“American wheat beer brewed with watermelon. Crisp, fruity, refreshing.”
