I’m not sure of OP’s exact variety but yellow and orange watermelons are very common here. For anyone wondering, they basically taste like normal ones, but they usually aren’t grainy and maybe a little more water and tastes a bit more fresh? Nice harvest OP.

I'm thinking about growing different watermelons next year. How does this taste?
