Appearance: clear, pink straw , 1 inch head, high carbonation
Smell: watermelon jolly rancher, a bit of wheat
Taste: toned down watermelon jolly rancher
Mouthfeel: drinks like a watermelon would eat--big sweet start that mellow down as you approach the white rind portion, can feel the carbonation, medium-light bodied
Drinkability: Not sure if I am a fan of watermelon ales, but this one certainly hits the mark. It is good for the watermelon fruit style. A bit sweet for me, I think I could have one maybe two max.

Crisp ale with a definite punch of watermelon - very refreshing. Pours like a light ale (which it is), smells like a fresh cut up watermelon and tastes just like that.
