◌ Aroma

Watermelon fruit dominates the nose with fresh, juicy character and light candy-like sweetness. The malt base recedes into the background, offering only subtle pale grain notes. Minimal hop presence allows the fruit adjuncts to take full center stage, creating an inviting and straightforward aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright watermelon flavor that carries the full arc of the beer. Moderate sweetness balances the low bitterness (10 IBU), creating an easy-drinking character without cloying heaviness. The 9.1% ABV sits well-integrated, warming gently without dominating the fruit-driven experience.
