Mixed six pack of dos equis fruit beers, I was not looking forward to this watermelon gig. Most all other watermelon beers are difficult for me to take, they almost always come across as artificial flavors. This one pours clear pale with a nice foamy head that fades in a few minutes to a pondscum. Nose is clean beer with a hint of fruit perfume. First impression is that it's really a gose. Yes, a somewhat salty brew with just a hint of watermelon. Does not seem artificial in flavor. Actually comes across as quite refreshing, a surprisingly good brew. Wow, did I mispredict this one. One of the better watermelon beers I've ever had. Very good level of carbonation from start to finish. Good stuff dos, could drink a few of these without any complaints! Strongly reminds me of Terrapin Watermelon gose.

12oz can picked up at Harmons. Pours clear light yellow with a small white head, light lacing. Fruity, watermelon, sulfur, lime. Decent.
