Q: Would you say a beer contains “watermelon” or “watermelons”? Either way, I didn’t get much watermelon.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big lightly tart/tangy watermelon, cucumber, fruit skin/seed, peach, pear, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with great balance and complexity of watermelon, fruity/acidic/spicy yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with bit strength. Taste of big lightly tart/tangy watermelon, cucumber, fruit skin/seed, peach, pear, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast spiciness, and fruit/lacto tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy watermelon, cucumber, fruit skin/seed, peach, pear, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, peppercorn, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of watermelon, fruity/acidic/spicy yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with no pucker/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering tartness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.6%. Overall this is a delicious fruited sour saison. All around nice omplexity, robustness, and balance of watermelon, fruity/acidic/spicy yeast, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp/clean to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/drying finish. Nicely soft and mellowly lactic. Flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great balance of authentic juicy/vibrant Watermelon and Lacto/Saison yeast complexity; with a nice pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity for the ABV. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

A hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light mineral chalky notes, grassy hop, light watermelon. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light watermelon, light mineral notes, refreshing. On tap at brewery.
