@TomHanx.....I hear you about fruit beers in general...not what I want either, however with that said I am surprisingly a big fan of this. There is no doubt in your mind that first a foremost this is a hefeweizen....then at the very end there is a subtle melon flavor. Now this is probably due to the fact that the recipe calls for 4 oz of melon extract and we used less than half an ounce. Again all doubters have been pleasantly surprised.
