A light Belgian Blond (5.4 per cent) rested on watermelon. To my knowledge, this will be my first watermelon beer, so let’s see how this goes… On the nose the aromas are gentle and fresh, with the watermelon presenting more as a faintly fruity refreshing cucumber (they are related after all). That watermelon hits first on the palate, before the fruity ester and subtle spice of the Belgian character kicks in. Light bodied and only mildly bitter, this is a very easy drinking and supremely quenching take on a Belgian Blond. Maybe a little out of season as we head into the coldest part of the year, but just drink it in a warm room and picture the sun, you’ll be fine.
