FREDERICTON, NB – Picaroons Traditional Ales has brought back popular watermelon wheat ale Melonhead for another summer, with an updated label featuring a new feline face, although there is an unexpectedly melancholy aspect to this year’s release.
Chosen as always from an assortment of photos submitted by Picaroons drinkers, the winning cat for 2016 is Chanel as submitted by owner Tom Richards. Sadly, however, Chanel passed away soon after her photo was chosen, so the release will also serve as a commemoration to her.
This year’s edition of Picaroons Melonhead featuring Chanel on the label will be available throughout the summer at NB Liquor outlets, the Picaroons Brewtique, and select bars and restaurants in New Brunswick.

- Greg C. is drinking a Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
