473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy gold blonde with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Mild aroma of bready wheat malt, Belgian yeast, coriander and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, watermelon, lemon, spicy coriander, Belgian yeast and floral hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily to watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Refreshing and crushable. Not bad.

At the source: watery beer. Smells like unbrewed beer. Where is the melon. I just see water. Not good.

Draught, St Augs. Cloudy tan, with an appetizing watermelon aroma. Taste is sweet, good watermelon character but then it finishes mostly yeasty. So right when it needs a clean, refreshing finish it does a 180 into yeast sludge. Argh.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Murky blond color with compact head. Light aroma of wheat. Simple wheat beer, with very low bitterness, no watermelon, instead an evident hazelnut flavor.
Not offensive.

Has a faint lemon aroma over top a nice foggy yellow body with minimal head. The flavour is a nice wit mix with a hint of coriander. Medium finish. This is a decent style beer closer to a hefeweizen but I can’t say I noticed the watermelon influence.

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.

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.

Draft - Smells like sweet watermelon. Cloudy hay color with a thin head. Refreshing and very sweet. Many fruit flavors pear and watermelon at the lead. No bitterness more like a cider than a beer.

Sampled on tap at the Alibi Room, pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma of watermelon (duh), and tons of sugar - more sugary than anything. Flavour of candied sugar, cotton candy and faint watermelon - more or less a monolithic sweetness, though the body is too light and thin to make it cloying. Weak, boring, uninspired.
