🌍 Australia · Fruited Sour · One of 30 Fruited Sours in hopIQ

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.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wayno

Appearance

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.
