3.7/5  rDev +19.4%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
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.

A: crystal clear; medium gold in color; 1 finger finely pored white head that receded to a thick collar; nice lacing;

S: watermelon candy;

T: not as sweet as the aroma, which make the flavor seem more like fresh watermelon; no bitterness - sweet throughout;

M: light to medium bodied; moderate carbonation; moderately dry finish;

O: definitely not my cup of tea, but nicely done;

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.
