Shared several bottles with friends. After a bit of aging, there is a strong clove flavor along with the melon. I found the beer to be very pleasant and drinkable. It does have a good malt presence, and the hops and yeast both add a lot of complexity. Tim C. was very fond of it but didn't really notice the clove until it was mentioned. He repeatedly stated it was "excellent." Jeff S. thought it was OK, but preferred not to have more. The clove was too much for him. Jeff M., George R. and Lance M. all found the spiciness off-putting and would not drink it. Jeff M. in particular was "disgusted." For my own preferences, it was a very good, but not great beer. It is unique and apparently is not for everyone's tastes. May try again with a different Saison yeast since the Cellar Science imparted so much clove flavor.
I've had the bottles in the cooler for a couple of weeks and decided to try one. A bit more carbonation than I expected, beer had a lot of head that held pretty strong. Flavor is relatively dry and fruity, but refreshing. Not as malty as I had hoped, but it should stay in the cooler another month. Overall, good and drinkable.
Noticed I had a leaking bottle. Chilled it before opening it. Already had a good head. Very malty with a warm finish. A bit hoppy, but the honeydew did come through.
