Horny Goat Watermelon Wheat

Watermelon Wheat sounded like it could either be very tasty or absolutely disgusting.  I decided to risk a couple bucks on a bottle and see what it was all about:


Vittles:
Fruit Beer
5.3% abv

Score:
Appearance: 8/10
Aroma: 19/25
Taste: 34/40
Mouthfeel: 7/10
Style: 4/5
Drinkability: 7/10
Overall: 79/100

Impression:
My first whiff was grainy, sweet, and fruity, but I wouldn't have thought watermelon -- it smelled more like berries.  I was sort of surprised that I tasted more watermelon than anything else.  It tasted like straight watermelon juice with a hint of wheat in the background.  My husband had a couple sips and said he couldn't taste the watermelon at all, but it was extremely prominent for me.  It wasn't an overpowering taste, just unmistakably watermelon.  I actually thought it was fairly tasty, and as it warmed to room temperature, the fruit and wheat flavors seemed to even out a bit more.  I'm glad I gave this one a shot, and I'd probably have it again sometime, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Cheers!
