I was thinking of brewing a watermelon blonde. Ive never heard of any one doing this before so I thought it might be good. Any thoughts/ suggestions?
Don't be discouraged before trying the Hell or High Watermelon from 21st Amendment; I have not been a fan of most the commercial fruit and/or American wheat beers that I've come across, however this beer I really enjoy. A six pack disappears quickly regardless of the weather around my house.
My buddy made a watermelon blonde with real watermelon pureed and placed in the secondary and it was a nice pink color. He bottled it and after a few weeks, it continued to taste like watermelon but turned a muddy, light brown color. Not sure if it was a chemical reaction with the natural watermelon or what.
To avoid this in the future, he used watermelon juice from the store.
