16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/6/2018. Pours lightly hazy pale golden/straw color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy watermelon, cucumber, fruit skin, lemon, lime, pear, melon, red/green apple, white wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, watermelons, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/lightly tart/tangy watermelon, cucumber, fruit skin, lemon, lime, pear, melon, red/green apple, white wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, and light fruit tang on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/sour watermelon, cucumber, fruit skin, lemon, lime, pear, melon, red/green apple, white wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, watermelons, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/sourness and tangy fruit balance; with no puckering flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tart/sourness and tangy fruit. Medium-plus carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, moderately grainy/acidic, and lightly tangy/saline balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.5%. Overall this is a delicious fruited gose. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, watermelons, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and pretty refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/drying finish; not overly lactic or salty. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great balance of authentic watermelons and Brett/Lacto complexity; with a solid pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Tap at Gambrinus Central State event. Pours a clear gold with a tiny head that dissipates. Tart lemon nose with melon rind and pils malt. As it warms up, bright citrusy hop aromas flourish. Tart on the palate, with lemon zest, watermelon flesh and rind coming through. Nice lingering refreshing tartness that goes on and on. Really well done and very enjoyable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Ottermelon on 08 Apr 2017 at 18:52 - Score: 8.

On tap at Hopcat Louisville. Pours a cloudy yellow with medium white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is watermelon seed and wheat. Thin body, tart watermelon, wheat, light salt in finish, very nice.
