From tap. Pours pitch black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted dark malty, breadish and slight liqourice. Lingering dark malty, liqourice. Roasted. Mild chocolate. Dark and bitter finish. Vague fruity.

Draft pour at Beer Junction. A clean, dark amber brown pour with a thin head. A unique aroma with some hop and herbal quality pairing. Flavor is cool, minty chocolate, and a hop pairing that strangely works. A mild toasty finish. Very unique and tasty. A fun collaboration. The least expected ones always seem to be. Very enjoyable.

Tap at Shelton Brothers. Pours a clear pink with a touch of head. Big watermelon jolly rancher nose with some faint lemon. Clean, crisp and refreshing on the palate. Very light, but the watermelon isn’t overdone. Tasty. --- Beer merged from original tick of Watermelon Xanadu on 30 Oct 2016 at 11:23 - Score: 7

Vom Faß im Jing A, Peking. - Schönes Orangegold, schwach trüb. - Kräftige aber sehr runde, um einen fruchtig-süßen Kern zentrierte IPA-Nase mit tropischen Früchten, Pampelmuse und Nadelwald. - Antrunk IPA-typisch mit kräftiger Pampelmuse. Deutlich süßer Malzkörper. Etwas zu rezent und für meinen Geschmack auch etwas zu süß. - Typisches IPA, aber „very unique“ ist das nun gerade nicht, eher eine handelsübliche Hopfenbombe in amerikanischer Manier, wie es inzwischen tausende gibt. Auch davon kann man mal zuviel bekommen ...

Vom Faß im Jing A, Peking. - Helles Rotgold, schwach trüb, „englisch“ sparsamer Schaum. - Nase zart zitronig herb. - Antrunk kräftig karamelmalzig mit breiter Malzsüße und mild orangenfruchtigem Hopfen, süßer Mandarine und etwas Kandis. Anklänge an Nadelwald. Mild rezent, breit vollmundig. Im Abgang kräftig hopfenbitter - angeblich Hallertauer Tradition - aber etwas leer, dabei alkoholisch. - Kein typisches Märzen: zu kandissüß, zu amerikanisch gehopft, aber bis zuletzt gut trinkbar. Probierenswert.

On tap in Oregon City of all places. Pours a almost jet black color with a medium white head. A nice resinous hop nose, light chocolates. The flavor is roast, sweet chocolates, ash, some cocoa, fruity citrus hops. Quite nice, very smooth and clean.

Tasting set wasn’t labelled and may have got it mixed up with the Buck Wild Summer Lager but I think this is the right description... This is the maple as it has a deep nutty maple aroma that’s quite good. It’s almost peanut butter like. The taste is zesty saison, light carbonation and body with more of that peanut maple kind of taste. Interesting and well done.

Tasting set wasn’t labelled and may have got it mixed up with the Maple Saison but I think this is the right description... A glowing gold with a beige head plus a brine and herbal aroma. Medium bodied and raspily carbonated it gives a taste that is sweet herbs, tangy and not all that saison like. 3.4 hmm I think this is the tea lager... Yeah that makes more sense.  Buckwheat beer.

Part of a tasting flight at Jing A taproom. Watermelon Xanadu berliner Weisse 5.6% 10 IBU

A lovely light salmonella pink color with a watermelon and cheesy aroma. The body is light and zesty, the taste tart watermelon. This is a good summer beer, these guys know what they’re doing with watermelon. Hell, I heard they even hosted a watermelon contest! 3.7
