    Has anyone heard of such a beer? I could see an IPA or lambic being tasty.

    21st Amendment makes a watermelon beer so I do not know why more use of other melons have not been popular. A cantaloupe lambic would be interesting.

    Not a beer brewed with cantaloupe, but had serious cantaloupe and honeydew aromas and flavor, is Steel Toe Size 11 DIPA. Need to find out the hops used in that beer.

    Melonhead had a cantaloupe flavor but that was because of the hops that were used.

    A great addition to an IPA in my opinion... i think Minneapolis town hall infused one at sometime and as Morimech said Size 11 had lots of melon in it

    Town Hall was the first brewery I thought of.
