For this Spree Series we'll brew a bunch of beer's that are purely experimental and fun, and not to be taken seriously. Unless you like serious...
For this fruited IPA we've gone down the green route again, this time with watermelon. The El Dorado hops bring a natural watermelon sweetness, with a citrus bite courtesy of fresh grapefruit. Pours bright green and finishes with a smooth, hoppy flavour.

Can from Beer52. Hazy bright nuclear green with small white head. Aroma of refreshing watermelon, sweet candy. Taste of watermelon, grapefruit, grains, dry moderate bitter finish. Refreshing and fruity, gimmicky but not unpleasant.

Can from the Low Cost Beer online shop. Pours murky green with a thick white head. Looks like some Vault City shit. Aromas of watermelon and grapefruit. Taste is melon rind and grapefruit. Light bitter finish. OK.

Can from Low Cost Beer. Appearance - lively and good God, it's green, algae green! Big fluffy white head with a green tinge. Nose - definitely vegetal, with notes of watermelon skin and cucumber predominating. Some green apple and citrus also lurking. Taste - the taste is still green and vegetal but significantly sweeter than expected. Still cucumber and watermelon skin are the main thing. Palate - light bodied, creamy middle, dry on the finish. Overall - the reviews on this one seem to be quite harsh, but I disagree. This would be lovely with spicy food at a barbecue.

Can from Beer52. Dull lime green; the head also has a hint of pale green. Looks like some sort of cleaning product. Tastes a little soapy too, although the main flavour is Jelly Belly watermelon flavour sweets. There's some fake apple flavour too. The hop bitterness does come through quite strongly and clashes horribly with all the fake sweetness. I'm all for novelty brews normally as they give a bit of variety - but this one is just a hideous mess of a drink.

Can from HavnensVin&Tobak. Pours bright lime green with medium white head. Aroma is intense watermelon, watermelon zest, mint, honey and hibiscus. Taste is light to medium sweet, medium bitter and light to medium acidic. Body is watery with sparkling carbonation. Finish is long with a slightly weird mixture of sweetness, bitterness and sourness, but also with intense notes of watermelon and the white part of watermelon zest, mint, lime zest, hints of grapefruit and orange and faint hints of liquorice. It is not very pleasant to drink but it is definitely a fun experience

Can. A light haze on this green beer, a tidy pale green head. Not everyday you get to write that beer description. The nose is big watermelon. Light palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine carbonation. Taste follows the nose, bold watermelon, a little floral watermelon and touch of Watermelon Jelly Belly jelly beans on the back end. A touch of more complex fruit before the semi dry finish. This beer made me smile and it's really not bad drinking either.

Large white head on a vivid green body. Looks like a bottle if Fairy liquid. Watermelon aroma. Medium bodied, tingly with a sticky back. Watermelon, detergent, soapy & extremely bitter tastes. Awful - actually tastes as it looks - Fairy Liquid!

[33cl can from Beer52.] A lime green coloured pour with a tight white head and fine carbonation; sweet watermelon aroma; unusual fruit cordial taste with definite watermelon and citrus; then the grapefruit takes over adding bitterness before an oddly metallic finish. Good in parts.
