Taster at District Brew Yards. Pours with a foamy head bringing up a light fruit smell. Taste is as advertised some sour watermelon. I'm afraid this doesn't appeal to me, as the sour hits a little too hard. But rish-taking is always welcome.

Two fitty at chalet in boardman, nice place. Big pounder can. Pour is clear light pale with a bubbly white head that is fading. Nose is a little farmy but fruity. Taste is not as wild as was expecting. Yes, if I look for it I can find the watermelon but its well balanced. Quite mild for a brew that is supposedly wild. Has quite a bit of that typical gose feel to it. I'd say this is really a gose, not a wild. Not that its bad, just was expecting more tartness than achieved. Hides its alky content rather well, I guess that's why you get a pounder can. Pretty refreshing in the middle. Perhaps a little of that processed feel to it in the end bit overall, I found this brew quite enjoyable. I usually don't like watermelon in beer but this one is all right. With all the stupid ass IPA out there, it's been a long time since I had two good tasting beers in a row.

Sampled from the tap at District Brew Yard. Pours a slightly hazy pinkish red with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy grains and yogurt with blackberry supporting. Flavor is more sour blackberry forward with a tartness that’s grows and yogurt backing.
