0.33 l bottle from 'NRW Braumanufaktur', best before May 2021. A little hazy, dark amber with a thin, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity aroma of orange, some honey, maybe light melon and traces of grains. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, slightly fruity taste of grains, orange, some honey and a touch of melon, followed by a short, slightly bitter, a bit grainy, moderately dry finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft to average carbonation. Again quite solid, but not really a Hüll Melon showcase beer.

Tap at Frisches Bier, assuming it is this one. Dry melonrind and light tropical aroma. Hazy amber, offwhite lace. Medium light dry body, grass and cantilpipe notes, a hint mango and mint.

0.33 l bottle from 'Hopfenrausch', best before October 2020. Almost clear, golden with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head.

0.33 l bottle from 'Hopfenrausch', best before December 2020. Hazy, pale red with a thin, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity aroma of fresh raspberry, sherbet and hints of grains. Slightly sweet, minimally bitter, gently fruity and a little malty taste of raspberry, grains and hints of sherbet, followed by a short, minimally bitter, grainy finish. Thin to medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Not bad for a low abv fruited Pale ale, but I'd expect it to be even more fruity, less grainy and generelly more refreshing. Quite similar to their Triple Cherry Sour.

Dumpfer, süß-säuerlicher Beginn, Kirschen, wässriger Hintergrund. Minimal herb, süffig, könnte kräftiger sein. 8/9/8/8/9/8
