440ml can. Pours a cloudy yellow with white head. Aroma of light watermelon with hints of flora and white pepper. Taste isn't good - sweet confected watermelon, grains, toffee, slight astringent leafiness. Not very pleasant at all. Light bodied, fizzy carbonation.

Can from Aldi, Chippenham. Lightly hazed pale gold with a white head and rather too much fizz. It's a little on the thin side. To my surprise it had a genuine watermelon taste. It was pleasantly refreshing whilst cold, but got a little sweet as it warmed. It's one dimensional but (unlike everyone else here) I actually quite liked it.

440ml can. Poured a crystal clear light yellow golden colour with a very short-lived fizzy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is herbal, watermelon. The flavour is light bitter, with a smooth, watery, watermelon, pear, light herbal palate. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Doesn’t look or taste great I’m afraid. Poor even for Aldi.

(Can) Pours clear straw with big white head. Subtle aroma of watermelon with lime and metallic hints. Light body with lively frothy carbonation. Rather artificial fruity flavours of watermelon with lime notes. It’s different and drinkable

Can from Aldi Supermarket, Manchester. Hazy pale yellow-gold with a small head. Session strength and textured hoppy ale with its fruit mix not quite feeling as stated as the brewers own version of this one.

[44cl can from my local Aldi.] A cloudy, unappetising looking, pale straw coloured pour with a fast fading white head; weak fruity aroma; thin in the mouth with a watermelon taste, then some sweet malts; and then nothing more.
