Draught at Coriander, 10/26/24. Lightly cloudy, bronze-maize. Little/no head. Watermelon is prominent, fruity, juicy, authentic. Lime is low, with moderate lactic character and biscuity malts. Juicy, tart, quite lactic but not punchy. Fruits are juicy and flavorful, but don't beat you to death. Great malt depth and attenuation. Quite dry. Not a fan of kettle sours in general, but this is done very well.

Sample at the brewpub. Slightly hazy golden color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to a wispy film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of watermelon, wheat and citrus. Light-bodied with flavors of candied watermelon, wheat, lime and doughy malt. The finish is fruity with a melon and citrus aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
