Watermelon Whale Cake starts out as a traditional style Cream Ale brewed with large quantities of Corn in the grist bill creating the classic cream-y body Cream ales are famous for (no lactose in this style). We then double down on the fruit addition, in this case Watermelon to complement the easy drinking nature of the base style. Flavors and aromas of beach day's and picnics balances out the refreshing medium to light body on our favorite warm weather seasonal series.

You know strawberry whale cake which was the original "whale cake?"
Well, this beer is pretty much the exact same thing just replace the strawberry with watermelon in aroma & flavor, doesn't really change the texture or nothing noticeable to me.
And this is one I'd return to.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a dark ruby with medium pink head that lasts. The aroma is berry and wheat. Slick body, raspberry, cherry, cereal wheat, light jam, very good.

Post work crusher. Watermelon and a hint of salt make this quite the treat on a hot day.

Draught at Roots the Restaurant: pours pinkish orange with white head. Aroma is watermelon, with malt backbone. Taste is watermelon, hint of sourness, low sweetness. Malty finish.
