Panda thanks to MrsSHIG: Poured a pinkish purple translucent with a white frothy head. Aroma is huge watermelon fruit, some other fruit as well, but not as present. Taste is sour tart, watermelon, dragon fruit, falls off a bit in the finish.

Just horrendous. Reminiscent of the pink powder they put on vomit back when I was in grade school. Starts with Sweetart-like sugariness full of watermelon and dragonfruit, followed by a seltzer finish. Dreadful.

Draft. A- Watermelon, dragonfruit. A- Dark pink color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Vitamin water, dragonfruit, watermelon, weak. P- Light body, thin texture, average carbonation, watery finish. O- Not bad, but watermelon and dragonfruit are not inherently flavorful, so this was pretty bland. Flavors worked just not exciting. Faint sourness.

$2.00 can, Giant - Pantops. Pink, clear, pink head. Watermelon jolly rancher... that's it. Very artificial aroma, but not bad. Paper, lemon zest, watermelon, yeast, dough. This is not good, how it has a 3.15 overall at this point just shows people think they're supposed to like this. I can't imagine anyone enjoys this artificial watermelon flavor on top of cardboard and wet bread dough.

Hazy bright pinkish-orange color with a medium thin white head that burns away quickly to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of watermelon, wheat and malt. Light-bodied with a sweet-tart watermelon character and notes of wheat, yeast and doughy malt. The finish is fruity with a salty melon and citrus aftertaste. Decent overall.

Perfectly clear and beautifully tinted orange coloured body with a golden and light copper glow with a very thin, pure white head that seems to fade very quickly. Aroma of soured and tart watermelon, candy, moreso than the actual fruit] with a noticeable amount of dragonfruit [again, think of dragonfruit candy/artificial notes] that hits nicely and stays strong. Light-bodied; Very strong tart and sweet flavours show the fruits with a lot of watermelon and even a good/slightly surprisingly amount of dragonfruit and acidic notes from that fruit towards the end. Aftertaste shows a very nice balance of malt and hops with tons of soured and tart flavours that show some bretty notes and even a tiny bit of lactobilly funk, but the fruit sweetness, tartness and malt backbone along with the balance throughout make this a very nice option, especially as the days get hotter/warmer and the weather shows us some nice relations we can make later on. Overall, a nicely tart and slightly soured beer without any cloying or deep malt flavours, but good enough (perhaps much better than previously received). I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington [Pentagon Row] on 03-November-2019 for US$1,87 sampled here at home in Washington on 03-November-2019 for U$@1,87, sampled at my house here in Washington on 10-April-2020.
