For whatever reason we've pigeon-holed our yearly song and dance with some varietal / take on a massive milkshake DIPA - and to commemorate 7 we brought back a favorite--watermelon! We've gotten around to doing some watermelon/melon themed goodies over the past few years, but nothing hits quite like the Fruit Monster. This concoction brings loads of watermelon combined with rhubarb puree for a bit of balanced acidity, with ginger additions to give it a swing of spice/herbal tones to round it all out. For this iteration we dialed in the recipe even better imo, adding some guava puree which tends to overpower but in the case of the Fruit Monster, is a pretty awesome balance booster. When not terrorizing Mochimune in the name of the Nemesis, the Fruit Monster likes to play tennis and read books on the beach.

WCB Watermelon Fruit Monster 8% Great brew to start my summer holidays! Golden color with a nice watermelon aroma that is slightly sweet. The taste has a bit of saltiness and sourness but the flavor is clearly watermelon and yet it is obviously a beer not some gimmicky thing. Great summer brew.
