    It wasn't terrible but wasn't that good. Does taste artificial. I don't think watermelon works in an IPA.

    1000 times this. "Bitter Bitter Rind Dorado" would have been an apt name for this abomination.

    I opened one from a mixed six-pk to share with my girlfriend. First sip, watermelon. Second sip was sweet, syrupy and medicinal repulse. I poured the last 5oz into her glass. She loved it.

    I gave it a 3.58. I won't buy it again and I'm glad I only bought a single.

    I bought a single, then ended up trying it at a friend's a day later. I now have the single sitting in my fridge, possibly for a very long time. Maybe I'll get around to it after I've had a few too many and can't taste as well?

    Never tried a watermelon other than my own homebrew watermelon blonde. A buddy talked me into it after tasting a watermelon wit on the west coast somewhere. I knew it was really gonna suck when my wife liked it. ;-) And I was right.

    Would have enjoyed trying a bottle but never saw it around. I did just find a Pineapple Sculpin though.

    Absolutely horrid. Not the worst I have ever had, but the bitterness did not mesh at all with the melon flavor. Absolutely out of balance. Of course I drank it since I wanted a quick buzz, but I had to chug it. Will not buy again.

    Mango Even Keel was not that good either. The mango smell was great but it's another fruit flavor that clashed with the bitterness. Glad I was able to chug the remainder so I only had to taste it twice.

    Three of us tried this together and we came up with a unanimous decision, "This is okay." Shoulder's shrugged.

    Watermelon Dorado was one of the worst beers I've have in a while. Mango even keel is good.

    I love mango, mango even keel was horrid. smelled and tasted nothing like mango, instead like an awful creamsicle perfume
