Seven Bro7hers Watermelon Wheat Beer


As you would expect from a wheat beer, this Watermelon wheat beer from Seven Bro7hers is very lively on opening so it took a few pours to get it all out of the can.  It's a lovely hazy golden yellow beer with a frothy off-white head that is quite loose but it lasts and laces.

Seven Bro7hers claim that this beer is summer in a can and it does indeed smell very summery with an aroma of juicy watermelon and a hint of sun-ripened strawberries.  It's quite a light aroma but you can definitely identify watermelon.

The flavour is disappointingly weak.  It tastes like weak, watery beer with a slice of watermelon thrown in to dilute it even further.  It doesn't have a lot of taste, but neither does watermelon really so I guess it is what it says on the can.  It's surprisingly softly carbonated for a wheat beer and the body is thin as expected.

It's a very refreshing beer but it definitely needs more flavour.  Watermelon doesn't have much taste but I expected some sweetness from strawberries and pineapple like it says on the can, but I didn't get any hint of that at all.  Not one I'd have again so unfortunately Ale not Be Seeing You!

Blue Moon Brewing Co Blue Moon


The sun is out, it's almost summer, so time for a wheat beer.  This is my favourite wheat beer - it's not as gassy as most and has an appealing cloudy appearance.

Blue Moon is best served with a slice of orange, but it's just as good without one.  It has enough of its own citrus flavour to blast your tastebuds and a creamy head that lasts despite its minimal appearance.

It's definitely very moreish which is why it's an astounding wheat beer - most wheat beers fill you so full of gas that you can't drink too many but I could keep drinking this one until the moon rises and beyond.
