Slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish off-white head that fades fairly quickly and leaves a small, subtle lace on the sides. Aroma of wheat, light grass, watermelon and a touch of hay with some subtle yeast and sweetness noticeable as well, but fairly mild of course. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong wheatie and very clean malts show at first with a lot of fruit aspects, especially the watermelon, but also some apples and pear notes as well with a slight sweetness at the end and some clean flavours that go down very easily. Aftertaste shows the watermelon notes at first, but the wheat, yeast and some coriander seed freshness does come out as well with a dry profile, especially at the end. Overall, a pretty nice and very fruity beer with the wheat tastes of course, but also some dry notes and a touch of grass with a good level of sweetness and yeastie, bready flavours as well. Good to sample and well-executed, especially for the season and the style. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Giant in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia 03-June-2021 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-July-2021.

Pomegranate nose. Crystal clear amber, medium head, poor retention. Pomegrante, lemon, coriander. Light body, moderate carbonation. Much better than expected, still not my jam though.

Hazy gold pour. Thin foam. Sweet cantaloupe flavor with a dry hop palate. Easy carbonation.

A hazed blonde wit with a thin white head. In aroma, light watermelon notes, light vanilla extract, light mineral notes, OK. In mouth, a nice mix of watermelon, cotton candy, light berries, with fruity esters and mineral notes, OK. On tap at Whole Foods, P Street, DC.

4 oz pour on draft at Solace. Poured a light hazy yellow color with a small white head. Could can smell the watermelon, but there was light sweetness there. Light watermelon juice, but mostly light sweetness. Perfectly fine and refreshing.
