Wayno

Tap to rate

Wayno is a limited-release fruit sour at 4.5 percent built around watermelon. Sweet, juicy melon leads the flavour and gives the beer a summery, fresh character, followed by a clean tartness that builds towards the finish. The body is light and the bitterness low, and the beer ends dry and tart, with the fruit sweetness fading into a crisp, bright acidity.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by fresh, juicy watermelon aromatics that evoke ripe summer fruit—sweet and immediately inviting without cloying. A subtle tartness underlies the fruit, with a clean, crisp character that suggests gentle acidity rather than aggressive sourness. The backdrop is spare and clean, allowing the melon to remain the focal point.

◐ Taste

Watermelon sweetness arrives first on the palate, delivering a refreshing juiciness that fills the front and mid-palate with summery character. A bright acidity builds steadily, providing clean tartness without harsh edges. The body remains light and quenching, with low bitterness that never competes with the fruit; the finish transitions deftly from sweet to dry.
