Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Light malt and light citrus aroma. Melon and malt flavor with light citrus. Medium bodied. Melon and malt linger with light spice and light citrus.

Tried on tap at the brewpub and from a growler. Pours a pale yellowy gold orange color. Medium white head. The liquid is a bit hazy. Some nice lacing and good retention. The aroma is relatively subtle. Honeydew melon is definitely there, but it’s not a strong odor, which makes it seem natural, rather than the artificial melon in air fresheners and whatnot. Some peach, raspberry, blueberry, mild tangerine, mild mango. A little bit more of the simple malt sweetness comes out than in most CM hoppy beers - just doesn’t quite have the normal hop juiciness to cover it up. More melon in the taste with some mild pineapple and grapefruit. There’s a berry bitterness, like raspberry seeds or something - that sounds silly. Some honey-ish malt sweetness but the beer finishes dry enough. Mild bitterness. Sort of a grassy, bitter melon finish. Mouthfeel is light with normal carbonation. No booze. Easy to drink. Interesting stuff. The melon is kinda odd. It’s almost a vegetal-leaning melon flavor, like the flesh near the skin of a melon. I appreciate being able to try a new and different hop varietal, but this one probably won’t grab people.
