Poured from 12oz bottle into a tumbler. Bottled 2/9/21.
Appearance: medium golden hue with a dash of haze and a thin layer of frothy ivory foam. Head doesn't stick around super long, but it's nice enough.
Smell: huge melon-y aroma to me, especially honeydew but also cantaloupe and watermelon. Kind of a candy-like thing going on here; I like it.
Taste: a very light malt along with a very fresh melony character. My bottle is starting to get on in age, but the melon still seems fresh. The finish gets to be pretty light, without much interesting going on, but overall this is pretty good.
Mouthfeel: light body with a huge carbonation, yielding a big, though ephemeral, creaminess.
Overall: an interesting beer; definitely drinkable at 3.6% ABV. There needs to be more balance at the end of the flavor: more malt, more sweetness, something; still, a nice beer and worth checking out.

Presentation: Draft, served in a pilsner glass.
Appearance: It looks beautiful, with a crystal clear rose gold color, a thin pure white one finger head and some great lacing.
Smell: Fruity watermelon, sweet Jolly Rancher hard candy and a hint of grains in the background.
Taste: The sweet, juicy, watermelon taste dominates. It leans less towards hard candy than the nose and more towards fresh fruit.
Mouthfeel: Feather light, really smooth and refreshing. Not cloying at all despite the sweet character. Low carbonation.
Overall: An awesome fruit beer, plain and simple. With it being so refreshing and having a low ABV, it's a shame it's not available in cans. Perfect for that hot, tropical, Puerto Rican weather and the beach.
