Watermelon Wonderfulness




Oh my delicious!  21st Amendment's Hell or High Watermelon is one of my favorites.  It's a great brew all year (if you remember to stock up... it's seasonal).  It's a great way to forget about the Winter time blues. 

Who says you can't get great beer in a can? 21st Amendment has some really great beers, and this one is my favorite. I can't wait to try this on tap. It sounds strange, but it works. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of wheat beers, but this doesn't have that wheat beer after taste to it, and that's probably because the wheat malts used in this are white wheat.

This tasty brew is made with bits of fresh watermelon puree, which is added during the secondary fermentation step in the brewing process.  You can see the pieces of watermelon in this picture:



Everything about this beer says Summer.  The aroma, the crisp and light flavor, the refreshing "aaaahhh" sensation after a gulp.  This beer is particularly good to share with those beer drinkers who are just figuring out what they might like other than just your average light beer. 

Again, this beer is seasonal, so when you see it, grab it!

Fun Facts:

ABV: 4.9%
Hops: Magnum and Columbus
IBUs: 17

As always, let me know what you think.  Happy beering.

Cheers!
