Can at the northern ontario beer fest. Hazy pour, with a light beige, almost clear pour, with next to no head. Aroma is green, smells like freshly cut watermelon rind, with a hint if melon sweetness. Mouthfeel is watery and the carb is very soft. The finish is crisp, and clean, not much going on though. Subtle malted wheat and more light melon rind.

Can thanks to Kristian, shared at Taphouse, Copenhagen (20/02/2020) - totally clear golden pour with a white head. Light watery fruity with lots of watermelon notes going on, light herbal and floral accents, light to medium body, watery watermelon finish. Meh.

I could smell the watermelon sweetness at the pop of the can, but when it was poured, it changed to a mix a sweat and feces in wet panties. Pretty gross. Was clear at first, but became hazy at last pour with a light golden colour. Small white head, no lacing. Damn, that smell !! Thankfully the taste is much better... but just not well-balanced. Watermelon at first with some hops in the middle, maybe light wheat, but in the aftertaste... I taste chocolate notes. Not bad, but way too weird all over. Alright, maybe I feel a little cheese in there... in the nose - to help out things a little. Maybe not. Starting to lean on some watermelon Jolly Rancher, but not enough to save this. Would not have again (and I have had other watermelon beers before that I would have again).

Can from the Beer Store. Cloudy pale yellow under a small lingering white head. Nose is light honey with melon and green apple. Lightly sweet with light melon and apple tartness. Mouth is quite thin with soft carbonation and a short crisp finish. Refreshing but i was hoping for a touch more character. 7-/3/6-/2+/11
