Tap @ Qvarteret. Unclear golden body under a small, next to nothing white head. Aroma has cucumber, a light hint of lime and cooked vegetables. Taste has quite smooth and soft malt, lots of cucumber, hint of lime, some mild acidity and minerals. I think I had preferred some more lime flavor to give a more refreshing impressing as this feels a bit too much after about half a glass. Still, I love this kind of experimental brews outside the ‘’mango’’ box. I have only tasted three cucumber beers before and they are ale quite different, but probably tasted more than 100 mango flavored beers that’s almost the same.
On tap at Qvarteret. Typical for cucumber beers, there's lots of cucumber going on, with an added earthy, mouldy touch reminiscent of that earthy touch in beetroots. Lightly sour, very refreshing, but I still don't think using cucumber in beer is a good idea. Luckily I sort of got used to the flavor after some sips. 545412 250830
