Mixed feelings about this, there's more fruit than beer in it, but it smells and tastes great.
It seems like they just dumped gallons of watermelon juice in the fermenter.
Draft pour looks like juice, no head, opaque reddish pink.
Natural aroma of fresh watermelon, not much else. No yeast esters or anything like a saison.
Taste was also full-on fresh watermelon, natural and slightly sweet but not overly so.
Feel was supple and smooth, low carbonation, oddly closer to juice than beer.
You could tell me this was a watermelon cocktail, and i'd believe it.

Tasty morsels. Anytime this beer is tapped. Much more bottled. It is gone in picoseconds. No lie. No joke. The ladies love it. Us dudes do too. Definitely one to hunt down and taste. Priced fair. I prefer it really cold and a hot summer day. Just say "NO" to Corona and a lime.
It is not overwhelmingly dominated by the watermelon.
SATURDAY IS BREWERY TOUR DAY.
Snooze & Ewe will loose. Great place for tasty morsals and brewer is on hand to facilitate all epiphany's
