Hi HBT,
My first time brewing a watermelon beer this Wednesday. I hear that watermelon can be tricky to do right. However I brewed a light beer using only mosaic hops and told my buddy it was my watermelon beer just as a joke, but he actually believed me and thought it was great. I'm going to be making a sizeable amount of this beer for a buddy's wedding next month and I think I may use the same technique. If we clearly label the beer as "watermelon" I think people will believe it. Are there any commercial examples of this that back up my claim that this is ok to do? Any "fruity" beers that are labelled fruity but contain no fruit? Or am I the first to try this? Just looking for confirmation that this technique is legitimate/respectable before I try it. It's a big wedding.
