Session Watermelon Wheat Ale

This Full Sail Brewing Co. beer was judged as a Fruit Beer (BJCP 29A).

The pour of this beer resulted in a nice straw colored liquid that had a slight chill haze in its clarity, and a nice small carbonation and head retention. It was difficult at best to pick up any watermelon aroma in the nose. Instead I got a nice honey-like scent from the beer. Again, the flavor of this beer it was difficult to pick up any watermelon in the palate. Instead, I got a light malt flavor along with hop bitterness. The hop bittering was a little high for this wheat ale and perhaps it had masked the overall watermelon flavor and/or there wasn't enough watermelon to begin with. The mouthfeel and body of this beer was light and it had a nice crisp, dry finish in the palate. Nevertheless, this beer sans watermelon flavor was good for what it was - a light, drinkable ale.
