The beer
Baller Melon is a nonalcoholic pale wheat ale brewed by Go Brewing in Naperville, Illinois, in collaboration with Chicago craft brewery Hop Butcher For The World. SportingHop Butcher’s signature cartoon artwork on a lime-green can—a sunglasses-wearing honeydew wedge going up for a dunk—the release brings a melon-focused wheat beer into Go Brewing’s lineup.
According to Go Brewing’s published brewing statements, all of its beers are mashed, boiled, and fermented in Naperville to finish naturally below 0.5% ABV without post-fermentation alcohol stripping or dilution. On Go Brewing’s landing page, Baller Melon is listed at 0.35% ABV and 69 calories per 12 fl oz can. Product specifications reprinted from the brewery describe a soft barley-and-wheat base hopped with Huell Melon and Calypso and finished with natural honeydew terpene flavors (whereas NA Beer Market’s blurb mistakenly describes watermelon and Motueka hops from a different Go Brewing wheat beer).
One single 12 fl oz can was purchased from NA Beer Market at $4.49 for cellar evaluation. Until that can is poured and tasted firsthand by The Dry Standard, this entry remains an unscored research profile with no sensory evaluation.

Research notes
The front of the can reads Baller Melon, Pale Wheat with Honeydew, Go Brewing, and Hop Butcher For The World. Go Brewing's starter-kit landing page (gobrewing.com/pages/2) titles the release "Baller Melon — Non-Alcoholic Honeydew Wheat Ale," lists $14.99 per 6-pack, displays 0.35% ABV and 69 calories, and states that Go Brewing beers are mashed, boiled, and fermented in Naperville, Illinois, through a proprietary brewing process that finishes under 0.5% ABV without dealcoholization or dilution. Retailer listings reproducing the Go Brewing product sheet (The Zero Proof and The Open Road) note that the collaboration with Chicago's Hop Butcher For The World uses a wheat-and-barley base, Huell Melon and Calypso hops, and natural honeydew terpene flavors (Water, Barley, Wheat, Hops, Yeast, Natural Flavors [Honeydew Terpenes]), while NA Beer Market's blurb mentions watermelon and Motueka hops—recorded under discrepancies. Producer and retailer flavor copy is not a Dry Standard tasting.

Where sources disagree
Sources disagree on the following points.
- ABV: Go Brewing's site-wide banner and standard can declaration state 0.5% ABV or less (<0.5% ABV), while the Baller Melon card on gobrewing.com/pages/2 prints "0.35% ABV · 69 CAL." Following the pattern across Go Brewing's lineup, the canonical value retains the <0.5% ABV ceiling and notes the 0.35% figure.
- Ingredients: The front of the can prints "Pale Wheat with Honeydew," Go Brewing's landing page titles it "Non-Alcoholic Honeydew Wheat Ale," and retailer sheets (The Zero Proof, The Open Road) list Huell Melon and Calypso hops with natural honeydew terpene flavor. NA Beer Market's description instead says watermelon and Motueka hops (apparent confusion with Go Brewing's separate Watermelon Wheat Pale). The stored ingredients follow the honeydew / Huell Melon & Calypso specification.
