21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon

◎ Appearance

Pours a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, effervescent character. The head is modest but persistent, with fine carbonation creating an inviting visual presentation. The light straw color reflects the wheat ale base and low SRM, suggesting a refreshing summer aesthetic.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by fresh watermelon notes with subtle wheat and grain undertones providing balance. Real watermelon juice shines through immediately, though the aroma remains relatively restrained without aggressive fruit esters. A clean, slightly tart character emerges, with minimal hop aromatics allowing the fruit adjunct to take center stage.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and refreshing with immediate watermelon flavor that carries throughout the palate. The wheat base provides a smooth, light foundation without competing for attention, while low IBU at 15 ensures bitterness doesn't interfere with the fruit character. Mid-palate maintains the crisp, clean profile with a hint of tartness that enhances drinkability.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry with the watermelon character fading gracefully without lingering bitterness. A subtle effervescence carries through, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
