Can. This was not a very good beer. Aroma was artificial watermelon. Taste was like someone dropped a watermelon candy in a glass of beer.

355ml can on 31st December 2021, in fact my last beer of 2021. Laguna Hills, California at my daughters place. Hazed light golden pour into a Leffe chalice. Subtle Melon aromas and flavours in this delicate brew, not really my thing, but it's not a bad beer just because I didn't go for it.

Lightly hazy yellow pour. It has a melon aroma and flavor, especially cantaloupe and honeydew. There’s some watermelon too. It is what it says and it’s very sweet, maybe too sweet. It’s okay.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours light, bright gold with a transient white head. Aroma is mixed melon with some hints reminiscent of Jolly Rancher candy. Near med body. Jolly Rancher watermelon with some standard cantaloupe and perhaps Persian melon. Overall, not all that bad. Certainly a decent pool beer.

12 ounce can into pint glass, best before 7/15/2019. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pale golden straw color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy watermelon, cucumber, honeydew, cantaloupe, fruit skin/seed, lemon, peach, pear, red apple, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; lighter notes of herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of melons, fruity yeast, moderate pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy, lightly tart/tangy watermelon, cucumber, honeydew, cantaloupe, fruit skin/seed, lemon, peach, pear, red apple, wheat, cracker, and white bread dough; lighter notes of herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of watermelon, cucumber, honeydew, cantaloupe, fruit skin/seed, lemon, peach, pear, red apple, wheat, cracker, herbal, floral, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of melons, fruity yeast, moderate pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness, tart/tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and lightly sticky/acidic/tangy mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4%. Overall this is an excellent fruit wheat. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of melons, fruity yeast, moderate pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish; great soft feel. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balance of big authentic melons and fruity American wheat yeast flavors; with a great clean pale/wheat malt backbone for the ABV. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp drying. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example. A perfect beer for summer.

12 ounce can from Woodman's Appleton, 6/18/19. I might hate this (got sick on watermelon as a kid) but I won't hold it against the beer. Hazy yellow, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of watermelon and cataloupe. Taste is cantaloupe primary with honey and pale malt. Thankfully not much watermelon. Medium bodied, juicy.
