Tin Roof Watermelon Wheat:
Hello one and all and welcome back to the great state of Louisiana.  Today lets scoot west down I-12 and to the capital, Baton Rouge and their local (and growing) brewery, Tin Roof.  Now this being the third Tin Roof beer in this little shindig of beer reviews and honestly, they haven’t really impressed me with a non-memorable amber ale and a unremarkable pale ale.  Now comes their summer release: Watermelon Wheat and with this being the second watermelon brew this year, we actually have something to compare and contrast with.  The beer was poured from the tap (the only way it’s available) and comes out a nice hazy gold color, a crisp white head that is almost two fingers in thickness and some nice lacing.  There is a nose of sweetness and wheat but nothing else is that noticeable which makes one wonder just how much watermelon there really is in this beer since it isn’t even noticeable in the nose.  Come to think of it, does watermelon really have that strong of scent in the fruit form?  Anyway, the taste is very uniform with an overall taste like a mellow Blue Moon though not as strong and heavy on the tongue and there is a nice ethereal watermelon about the beer and it is a nice complement to the wheat taste.  This beer taste more like a wheat beer than 21st Amendments beer did but both are equally good and worth it for summer beer.  Hopefully, one of these days, one- dare I say both - (Dare! Dare!) make it to a wider *ahem* Texas release because these are great summer beers and who knows summers better than Texas?
