▪️The Verdict: As men, it is in our DNA to do manly things like piss on toilet seats, piss off our girlfriends & piss away our money gambling on sports all weekend (...probably all three). We wear the same pair of jeans for months on end without washing them. We laugh at vegetarians who don't appreciate the finer things in life like a tender, juicy steak. We trade war stories & embellish tall tales from our high school glory days.
It's also an unwritten 'Man Law' to bust another man's balls if you catch him drinking a 'fruity' drink. But laws are meant to be broken & every rule has an exception. 21st Amendment's 'Hell or High Watermelon' is that exception. Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of fruit beers because they tend to taste artificial and overpowering, but the watermelon flavor of Hell or High Watermelon is subtle enough that it does not dominate the beer. Made with 100% real watermelon, it is a light-bodied wheat ale with a crisp, refreshing after taste. Perfect for the dog days of summer, I could definitely see myself crushing a six pack by the pool while I even out my tan & catch up on the hottest gossip in the new issue of Vanity Fair. I guess you could consider it the Caitlyn Jenner of beer. Whatever. It takes a real man to admit that. 🍉
▪️M&F Rating: 7.9
