Taste is similar to a mild jolly rancher. Would not try this again

Great wheat and watermelon combo. Crushable on a hot day.

Go buy watermelon vodka if you want watermelon taste. This stuff sucks.

12 oz bottle, then revised with a sample on tap in September 2015.
Hazy golden body with a good head.
The aroma is not as appealing as the flavor which is good and has an actual watermelon note.
I suppose this requires a fairlly mild flavor in order for the watermelon to shine through.
Refreshing.

look: 3.25 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: Cloudy yellow with a decent head of foam, a touch of lacing, and quite a bit of carbonation.
Smell: Watermelon Jolly Ranchers.
Taste: Wheat beer, cucumber, with a hint of watermelon.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with a slightly sweet watermelon finish.
The Verdict: Not bad. The aroma was off-putting, but the watermelon flavor doesn't really kick in until the finish. Might make a good middle of summer session beer.

Drinking my first beer from 21 amendment... Not happy. Might as well of cracked a bud light open. Lacked personality, flavor, bite, and so much more. Looks like they mashed a few old watermelons and hoped for the best.

Nearly clear golden yellow with a pile of suds and lots of lacing in the tall Blanche de Chambly glass. Slightly tangy with a persistent but mild flavort of watermelon. Some wheaty taste with a malty flavor. Light bodied but silky on the tongue.
Clean, refreshing, with a flavor of cucumber when you take a sip, followed by the watermelon aromatics. Warm with just a touch of sweetness. I don't know why this is hated so much, by some anyway. But then I hate cinnamon in beer. Thoroughly drinkable. From the 12 oz can purchased at Whidbey Beer Works in Oak Harbor, Washington.
