Untitled Art Non-Alcoholic Watermelon Gose 6Pk

Untitled Art Non-Alcoholic Watermelon Gose 6Pk is a tart, salt-kissed non-alcoholic gose-style beer brewed with real watermelon, key lime, and sea salt at under 0.5% ABV. What distinguishes this expression from the growing field of NA beers is its use of membrane filtration technology — the beer is fully fermented before the alcohol is gently stripped away, preserving the aromatics and flavor complexity that most dealcoholized beers sacrifice.

Quick Facts: ABV: <0.5%  |  Origin: Waunakee, Wisconsin, USA  |  Style: Non-Alcoholic Gose  |  Brewery: Untitled Art Brewing (brewed at Octopi Brewing)

Production & Heritage

Untitled Art Brewing operates out of Waunakee, Wisconsin, producing its beers through a partnership with Octopi Brewing, a well-regarded contract facility known for its technical capabilities. The Watermelon Gose is part of Untitled Art's FLVR! line of non-alcoholic beers, which has earned recognition for pushing boundaries in the NA space. The brewing process begins conventionally — a full fermentation with real watermelon, key lime, and sea salt — before membrane filtration technology carefully removes the alcohol while retaining the volatile aromatic compounds and flavor molecules that give the beer its character. This approach stands in contrast to arrested fermentation or thermal dealcoholization methods, which often produce thinner, less developed results.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh watermelon rind and juicy melon sweetness arrive first, followed by a light citrus lift from key lime. A faint mineral salinity rounds out the nose, giving it a beachy, summery quality.

Taste: The entry is bright and tart, with watermelon flavor hitting cleanly across the palate. Mid-palate, the sea salt emerges to balance the fruit sweetness, creating that signature gose tension between sour, sweet, and salty. Key lime acidity sharpens the edges and keeps the beer from tipping into candy territory.

Finish: The finish is crisp and relatively short, with lingering watermelon and a dry, saline fade. It leaves the palate refreshed rather than coated, encouraging another sip.

How to Drink Watermelon Gose

Pour cold into a tumbler or drink straight from the can — this beer thrives at refrigerator temperature. Its built-in tartness and salinity also make it a surprisingly versatile base for non-alcoholic cocktails. Try it in a NA Michelada, where the salt and lime complement hot sauce and tomato juice naturally. It works well in a Virgin Shandy, blended with fresh lemonade for a double-citrus refresher. For something different, use it in a Watermelon Spritz — top with sparkling water, a squeeze of lime, and a sprig of mint over ice.

Best For

• Dry January participants who refuse to drink boring NA options
• Summer barbecues and pool days when you want flavor without alcohol
• Gifting to a craft beer enthusiast exploring non-alcoholic alternatives
• Post-workout or midweek refreshment when a full-strength beer isn't the right call

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Watermelon Gose taste like? It delivers a tart, juicy watermelon flavor balanced by sea salt and key lime acidity, landing somewhere between a sour beer and a fruit spritzer with genuine gose character.

How does Watermelon Gose compare to Athletic Brewing Downwinder Gose? Athletic's Downwinder leans into a more traditional, subtly salty and tart gose profile without a dominant fruit addition. Untitled Art's version is significantly more fruit-forward, with watermelon as a primary flavor driver rather than a background note, and the key lime adds a citrus dimension Downwinder doesn't pursue.

Is Watermelon Gose good for people new to non-alcoholic beer? Yes — its pronounced fruit flavor and refreshing tartness make it approachable for anyone, including people who don't typically enjoy conventional beer styles.

Where is Watermelon Gose made? It is brewed at Octopi Brewing in Waunakee, Wisconsin, under the Untitled Art Brewing label. Octopi is a dedicated production facility that handles brewing and packaging for several craft brands.

What foods pair well with Watermelon Gose? Grilled shrimp tacos benefit from the beer's salt and lime profile. Fresh ceviche mirrors its bright acidity. A watermelon and feta salad creates a complementary echo of the fruit note. Spicy Thai papaya salad finds balance against the beer's tartness. Light goat cheese on crostini pairs well with the saline finish.

What sizes does Watermelon Gose come in? This product is sold as a 6-pack of 12 oz cans, which is the standard format for the Untitled Art NA line.

Is Watermelon Gose worth the price? It positions in the premium tier of non-alcoholic craft beer, which reflects the cost of membrane filtration and real fruit ingredients. For drinkers who value flavor complexity over basic NA lagers, the quality justifies its place in the upper range of the category.

Why Watermelon Gose?

The non-alcoholic beer market is crowded with pale ales and lagers that play it safe. Untitled Art's Watermelon Gose takes a genuine risk by translating one of craft beer's more eccentric styles — the fruited gose — into a sub-0.5% ABV format without gutting its personality. The membrane filtration process is the technical backbone here, allowing full fermentation to develop real depth before the alcohol is selectively removed. The result is an NA beer that actually tastes like it was brewed by people who care about beer, not just about the "non-alcoholic" label on the can. With a 3.7 rating on Untappd from over 600 reviews, it has built a genuine following among drinkers who take their NA options seriously.
