Formerly Heavy Melon
Hot summer nights, jam out to the cooling waves of Heavy Melon Ale, our newest seasonal track. Brewed with juicy watermelon and zesty lime peel, this crushable ale rips with a blast of melon notes. Ripened fruit aromas of melon, papaya and citrus climax with an enticing aroma, and set up an invigorating wash of fruity sweetness, grassy bitterness and the slightest touch of tartness. Super crisp and refreshing from start to finish, Heavy Melon Ale shreds through the summer heat.

June 16th, 2016 - Fruit beers are getting more expressive with this melon themed brew from NBB. The color hasn't been modified with a pink tincture to give it a candy like appearance, but it does have a sweet and pickled smell, like pickled watermelon rinds. The palate is quite soft, like Fat Tire, with a sweet and vinegar taste. That extra acerbic touch makes this refreshing and cuts through the hot heat of early Summer in a fashion like lemonade.

This beer tastes like a watermelon rind was blended till it was liquified.
Looks like a bland golden beer. Thin watermelon rind beer. No redeeming value here.
