A little refresher during intermission at HARRY POTTER AND THE TERFED CHILD PART ONE. Quite bitter.

Fruity, apple-y, berry-ish, in fact a lot like a cider, but cleaner and without funk. I'm not exactly sure how this technically counts as a beer, but it's pretty damned tasty.

Tea I didn't really get at all from this, but a very tasty wee heavy in all respects.

Good amount of puckery, tart funk. The fruit flavor is... again, not exactly obviously watermelon, although I could certainly imagine it (more than I ever could with regular Hell or High Watermelon). Some buttery notes in the finish poke through after the tartness subsides.

This is fine. Wheat, slight bitterness, some watermelon, which doesn't seem bad or fake. I don't mind it. Pretty good for a -230 prediction . . .

Pours very dark. Lots of astringent chocolate and a lot of roast. A lot like a CDA in that there's a fruity hop spiciness that kind of fights the normal dark ale flavors, but with additional spices added. Some dried-fig/molasses and a ginsengy root flavor.

Tasted very off, like wet, sugary hay. Checked the bottom of the can which listed a date more than three years ago. Noooooope.

Doesn't taste so much like a toaster pastry as it does a fruity, hoppy red ale. The hops are very bright, almost fresh-hop-like. Finished quite bitter.

Tastes like fresh hops. Crisp floral and citrusy flavors with a pretty bitter ending.

Peculiar grape juice smell? Very peculiar taste. Some kind of weird grape sourness maybe? Maybe some ashes flavors?

A lactic sweetness on this, tasting a bit like a pumpkin spice milkshake. That was a promising start. But there's something artificial-tasting about that sweetness, kind of like candy sour sugar.

I could taste watermelon this time, but it still wasn't overt. I got more yeasty funk and banana than anything else. Still, worked well with the sunshine.

A thinnish stout with a ton of roast. I would call it "ashy" but it takes a bit of a lactic turn at the end which is milk-stout-like but never really resolves into the sweetness of that style. This wasn't bad, but it was a bit... strange in a way that never came together for me.

Resinous citrus, oaky balancing out the harsh hops in fresher DIPAs, heavy alcoholic flavors.

Pours with a very thick slow head. Pleasant roasty fine bitterness, assertive bitterness but balanced to the caramel biscuit body with some finishing sweetness.

An easy drinking beer that offers a depth of flavor including roasted malt and coffee. Enough bittering hop to provide a balanced finish. Some hop flavors at the outset. A remarkably nuanced beer that succeeds where many have failed: offering the fruitiness and citrus of hops with roasted, chocolately malts. Each sip is different, but all are delicious.

The first face I made trying this beer was pure confusion. You sip on it, and it seems normal. Carbonation, weight from malts, check. And then right when you expect some flavor from the hops or malts to kick in... Watermelon!!! And that's it. It's not a wheat beer with watermelon, it tastes like watermelon. That's it. Interesting science experiment, and the watermelon flavor is clean and crisp and fresh, so marks for that. In a way the "Meh" is a bit unfair, this is an extremely well done fruity beer - it's clean, balanced, with a nice flavor that isn't overpowering. It's more fair to say something like: "Chance I'll buy this again: 40-50/100, but rating vs. what this beer is meant to be: 90/100".

Starts bitter and fades for long drinking. Tastes like a very light, well balanced IPA. Overall, I think it's pretty good.

I'm not against adding things to the mash to add interesting flavors or highlight existing ones, but the additives to this overpower the core of the beer. It doesn't have the depth that a St Bernardus does.

Appealing, sweet dubbel-like flavor but with a bright, fruity fig overtone that recalls stronger ales. That's the problem, though, since it feels like they cheated - getting that from actual figs instead of yeast. So instead of complex esters you get FRUIT! in your face. Slightly metallic finish.

Light, like a nutbrown. Fluffy, thick head and a creamy, uh... almondy... milkiness that I really enjoyed. I think this is a winner for 21A.

Seemed better than last time, even though this can came from the same box.

Smells briny, like corned beef. Somewhat salty finish, mild brown body.

Definite Belgian flavor with sharp nutmeg on top of the regular spices. The tripel base just seemed kind of mediocre and got worse the more I drank, which no amount of pumpkin spice could salvage.

Not a bad porter, although the coffee flavor may have been a bit too burnt. In fact, my nose smelled ash at times. Decent pie spice, but no noticeable pumpkin, and a touch of sour bitterness as well.

At first, I really liked this beer. It has a nice caramel smell and an unusual salt content that added an unexpected balance to the flavor. Over time, though, a soy sauce-like aftertaste started building up, and the thought of finishing it became unpleasant. I mean, oysters, right? I can eat them forever. This beer? Small quantities.

Leaves you feeling like you drank a glass of soy sauce.

This is the first canned beer I have imbibed since I overspent on a 6-pack of Churchkey in order to impress my hipster friends. Definitely had a tongue-full of salt on the first taste but after that I found it to be kind of delightful. Dehydrating, but delightful.

Funky, unpleasant smell. Fortunately, the beer tastes much better, although I could barely taste watermelon, and the finish has a somewhat metallic dryness that doesn't completely go away poured into a glass.

Has uric qualities to the smell-- tastes way better than it smells. Watermelon taste is like that of a watermelon Jolly Rancher. Leaves mouth dry feeling.

Just like dropping a watermelon flavored Jolly Rancher in a weak beer.
