I bet a cantaloupe melon sour would be bangin. 
I think so too. It's a bit tricky working with melons, though, due to the spoilage factor. I bet it's not too bad working with already fermented beer, though.

I made a watermelon wine last Summer, and it took me 3 attempts to get it right, since watermelon basically starts rotting as soon as it's skin is punctured.

I had to make a 2 liter starter of EC-1118 to be able to ferment all of that watermelon juice, before it spoiled.

Nice!
 
I've had watermelon sour but it was def a summer beer. And honeydew, not really interested. But cantaloupe has more of that fall/winter flavor I can picture as a sour.
