Not what I was expecting… Fonts Flora Lake James Rind Lager Beer 3.8% Crystal clear gold with fast-dissipating fizzy foam. My first sniff had me thinking grapefruit but then I realized it had HUGE lime aroma. Apparently, it’s made with heritage corn, watermelon (undetectable at first), fresh lime and tajin (some kind of lime/chili sauce). Medium bodied with a very dry finish. The taste is loads of lime giving it lots of acidity. After a bit you get use to the mild chili and can actually get quite a bit of watermelon. Very summery, very interesting but I cracked this open looking for a clean straightforward crushable lager. Really interesting take on a Mexican lager with deft use of watermelon.

Single from Whole Paycheck. Pale gold lager, clear, unlike the lime. Bigger, but faulty head. Really pleasant nose of watermelon rind, lime & weak green chilis over a bag of corn chips. Bitters, peppery corn, really nice & bittersweet watermelon rind, veg ruffage, corn chips, salt. Crispy, slightly astringent, thin, big acid. Great

Can from the brewery care of Jon. Thanks for the assist! Pours a clear gold with a finger of white head that lingers. Lovely watermelon flesh and rind aromas with light spice and lime notes. Easy drinking and more body than expected. Nice mineral presence that most Fonta beers have. Very crushable.

Refrigerated 12 oz. can poured into a glass. Clear golden with small white head. Aroma is watermelon, light body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is watermelon and some lime.
