Clear yellow-gold pour with a medium thin white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Peach, hops and malt in the nose. Light to medium body with flavors of peach, grassy hops and bready malt. The finish is fruity with a peach and hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 oz 2$ can. Nearly clear pale, slight haze. Barely any fruit on the nose. Pretty good sizzle on the uptake. Slight ale bitterness, almost phenolic palate. Some tartness, but the medium sharp bitter bite puts the tartness into the background. A little different than most fruit beers with its ale-ish attitude. The good co2 level keeps it somewhat refreshing. Not bad, its just that mild to medium astringency prevents this from being a winner. Oh well, didn't expect much so this meets my expectations. Not one for watermelon on beer. Has a long way to go to be as good as Bold Rock Watermelon, Schöfferhofer Watermelon Mint, Burley OakStrawberry Watermelon J.R.E.A.M. or even 21st Amendment Watermelon Funk.
