Dark orange, close to brown in color and then pours 2 fingers of foam that don't dissipates at all. Aroma is bready and then sweet melon. Flavor is bread that is quickly overtaken by a melony strawberry flavor, finishing with a bit of a boozy and strawberry breath. The body is quite thick with little sharpness from nucleation despite a higher priming. Despite using a cal common yeast, there's no sharpness or crispness to it. Of note, the foam is very pillowy, which may be a positive. So, this is an interesting beer and, were I to order it in a bar, I'd be intrigued by it but wouldn't order another. I'll say 4 stars for the novelty of this as the Huell Melon hops give it a truly unique flavor.
Scored a 24.5 at the Oregon State Fair. Supposedly the green bottles led to a light struck quality and there was a banana flavor due, possibly, to distressed yeast or infection.
