Taster at District Brew Yards. Pours with a foamy head bringing up a light fruit smell. Taste is as advertised some sour watermelon. I'm afraid this doesn't appeal to me, as the sour hits a little too hard. But rish-taking is always welcome.

Draught @ District Brew Yards, Chicago (Aug 2023). Cloudy dark yellow with a small foamy whitish head, hay aroma, high carbonation, mildly bitter grainy taste with faint banana flavor, thin body, long finish. Not a typical hefeweizen, but it's tasty.

This brown poured a deep amber colour with a creamy brown head. Nice lacing. Scents include a little cocoa, caramel, light coffee and a bit of ripe fruit. First swig was a little boozy at 6.9, it roasty delicious. Flavours of cacao, ripe fruit, tea and brown sugar. Finish is roasty with light hop and mild coffee flavours lingering.
