Crisp and refreshing, Wuddermelon Kolsch is our twist on the traditional Kolsch-style beer. We pump up the aroma and citrus notes with the addition of cascade hops and watermelon puree, while keeping the ABV mild and true-to-style. The result is perfect for Summer sipping down the shore.

Quite hazy deep copper, peach and orange coloured body with a very unfiltered glow and a very thin, not even half a centimetre tall pure white head on top. Aroma of cactus leaves, light coriander seed, cucumbers, a dose of herbs, some softer brine and pure salt notes and a dash of very faint watermelon on the end that doesn't taste artificial, but barely tastes like anything. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive biscuity malt bite at first with a stronger grain and floral component, but the hazy and malt make this taste more like a pils or a dortmunder more than anything, but the biscuits and dryness define the malt product with a strong and robust bite at the end. Aftertaste shows a lot more work that needs to be done across the board, but also with the grainy and herbal character that finishes this off nicely. Overall, a nice enough beer that is a bit different than others and the watermelon barely shows through. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 23-June-2019 for US$1,59 sampled at home in Washington on 28-September-2019.

12 ounce can. Hazy amber gold pour. Large frothy bite head leaves lots of clinging lace. Bready malt nose has fresh watermelon notes. First sip brings notes of toasted malt, citrus fruit and watermelon. Crisp and refreshing. Pleasant and flavorful.
