Up On Watermelon Hill has a candy watermelon flavor like Jolly Ranchers. It clocks in at 10% abv which is actually hidden quite well by the sweet and sour flavors. Watermelon fans will love it!

takes you to childhood with a taste like candy then slaps you in the face for getting drunk underage (metaphorically)

Taste is vinegary and sweet. Watermelon flavor is present throughout. Agree with Darkmagius below with the sour watermelon candy comparison. And wow, 10%! Salty and refreshing, like your sister.

Poured from a can into a shifter
Appearance – The beer pours a hazy pinkish tinted yellow color with a small head of fizzy white foam. The head fades rather fast leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is very strong of a sour watermelon smell mixed with lots of sweet sugar like smells. Along with these are notes of a sour lemon and a bit of apple cider vinegar. Overall, it smells like a watermelon sour gummy candy. Super inviting.
Taste – The taste begins with a rather sour watermelon taste that is mixed with a little bit of white sugar sweetness. The sour is mainly of a lemon nature, but has flavors of green apple and apple cider vinegar mixed in there as well. There is also a little bit of lime and a touch of salt upfront, both of which get a bit stronger as the taste advances. The sour also intensifies throughout the taste, all while the sweeter flavors remain constant. More flavors of grain and cracker work their way at the end of the profile, and with the rest leave one with a rather sour watermelon, but not too sweet or malty taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is rather light for a 10 % abv brew with a carbonation level that is rather high. For the sour nature and the watermelon tastes the thinner and more effervescent nature of the brew was good, accentuating the flavors rather nicely.
Overall – A rather easy drinking sour at 10 % abv. I am not usually a big sour fan, but this is rather nice. Nice flavors and drinkability.
