OK, so this is the forth out of a mixed pack of 4. I've done the others before. The best one was the lemon and lime and the worst one was the grapefruit. This one is someplace in between. When I first pop the lid it has a somewhat odd farmy smell. Pale with a white head. The taste is somewhat watermelon and it don't seem too artificial. Good level of c02. Odd, never really like watermelon beers. Not as sweet as a shandy but it's much less astringent bitter than the stupid grapefruit crushy. A little more acceptable on the palate.

Refrigerated 12 oz can, best by September 18, 2022 poured into a weizen glass. Hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is wheat esters, medium body, well carbonated, and some lacing. Taste is wheat esters and melon.

Watermelon, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Hazy golden yellow with moderate white head. Mildly sweet watermelon, wheat malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. Pleasant.
