Pours a pale straw with a little haze and a finger of head. The nose has very mild notes of sour melon candy. There's definitely some watermelon notes in the flavor profile but it's modest. There isn't much else going on here.
This is definitely "crushable" and I suppose it wouldn't be too bad on a really hot day.

12oz can, tulip, looks like best by 10/10/23.
Medium-dark gold with a good head right off the bat that settles to a sliver of head. There may be pink tint.
Wheat and light watermelon candy.
Light chalky wheat beer with some subtle watermelon flavor. The watermelon flavor is like watermelon fruit and rind with just a hint of tartness. The fruit aroma and flavor tends toward natural.
Light body, medium-high carbonation. The feel is slightly chalky, but offset by the carbonation.
I can see this being popular with non-beer people. The flavor is pretty good, but it’s pretty neutral overall.

Pours a pink/lemon with a thick frothy white cap that falls away quickly, minimal lacing. Aroma is faint melon. Flavor follows the nose, a bit sweet with a little tartness in the finish. Feel is light bodied with ample carbonation. Overall, a decent summer slammer, part of mixed pack. I doubt I'd buy it on it's own.

Pours a pale orange. Thin foam. Not much of an aroma. Tastes a little spicy. Very light watermelon flavor. Finishes clean. Better than expected.

This one is not good to me, the watermelon flavor is just weird for some reason. Definitely kind of a let down but the other new flavors are good.
This one specifically is a little better on tap so I'm adjusting my rating a smidge. Just a little more flavorful in a good way and balanced
