Notes
Watermelon and Lime seems like an unlikely paring. Contrary to expectations, it is a refreshing, lightly flavored sparkling water that combines the natural sweetness of watermelon with very subtle notes of lime. You may see this flavor and think this melon and citrus do not belong together. They do.
When you first open the can, you'll notice a crisp, ripe fragrance of farmer’s market watermelon. The aroma is faint, but fresh. On the nose, this can provides a pleasant and refreshing anticipation for the taste after a sturdy and powerful crack.
The watermelon flavor is fresh and ripe. It comes across as natural, like you’re biting into a slice of watermelon at your Rich Uncle’s house even though you’re not really allowed to eat while you’re swimming. It’s okay though, the caretaker sliced it up and brought it to you and said she wouldn’t tell anyone. The lime appears subtly on the tail end, cooling the palate.
This flavor is fresh and perfect for summer. It tastes like the juiciest melon sliced at peak ripeness. Good & Gather has a strong bubble. It’s not for the faint of heart.
Overall reaction
This is a delightful summer flavor. It’s pretty good!
