Melon Head
Brewed in Saskatchewan, and with a name and bottle designed for Roughriders fans, this should be an interesting beer. Poured into a pint glass, it had a medium-pale golden colour, and a foamy white head that settles down to a thin layer over the top of the beer. Pretty average, but not unappealing. The aroma is mostly sweet grain with some slightly acidic fruit aromas such as pear coming through. It is smooth and crisp to start, but the malt comes through slightly sweet. The flavour is quite aromatic and perfumy with notes of fresh fruit. Some slight hop flavour and bitterness come through in the finish. Overall, the flavour is quite layered and complex considering the beer is quite average otherwise. It's a bit too intense for drinking a lot of, but It tastes good nonetheless.
