Golden Road Melon Cart Wheat Ale

Melon Cart Wheat Ale. Golden Road Brewing. Los Angeles, CA.

4% ABV.

“A watermelon wheat ale with notes of honeydew and cantaloupe.”

Appearance

Light straw and hazy. Big foamy head with tight lacing.

This beer trickeled down the can and made a mess during the pour, but it’s just a normal can, so it must have been my error.

Smell

It smells interesting during the pour. Vivid melon. Cantaloupe.

Taste

I say “oh my goodness. Come taste this.”

Watermelon.

It’s yummy and not too sweet, only a little bitter. I forgot this is a wheat beer — it’s disguised a lot by the fruit, but I can taste it.

Every time I come back to the glass I like it more.

Aimee says “when I drink that, I feel happy”.

Mouthfeel

Light.

Overall

I am grateful to experience something new today. This is quite a mellow and pleasing flavor.

Most novel beers with adjuncts are not successful experiments, but this is a great discovery.

We drink through this one fast.
