8 oz draft. Beautiful pink color. Aroma is just a shit ton of watermelon. In the flavor of the watermelon dominates but also shows a mild salinity. Very light tart finish. This is a great summer brew!

Draught at the brewery, 7/8/16. Clear (chill haze), copper-golden body has a small, off-white head atop showing moderate to low retention. Big melon notes in the nose are balanced by a deep salinity. Smells strong of the watermelon, but it’s authentic, fresh and hard to not love. Honey, light grain and bread behind it help dry things out a bit as very gentle tartness tries (and fails) to take hold. No alcohol or flaw. Again, I do love the watermelon flavor and it goes wonderfully with the saltiness, but I still think it’s just a bit too prominent. Tartness on the end could use a boost as well, and perhaps the low amounts of lactic character, relative to the style, also aid the watermelon in seeming too domineering. Still, tight carbonation, honey, biscuit and salt do provide moderate dryness and the beer is still quite enjoyable, as long as you like lots of watermelon. Could see a full glass of this getting quite fatiguing, though. 7/3/7/3/14 Rerate on draught at the brewery 7/6/24. Still a shit ton of watermelon and I understand my earlier rating, though this one feels a bit more balanced, salty and just a hint tarter. Though I could still see more acidity elevating this.
