Can. Just an average lager type beer. Gold in color with a two finger head. Well balanced in both taste and aroma.

Hazy dark golden color with a medium thick white head that recedes gradually to an outer ring. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of lime, cucumber and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of mildly tart lime, cucumber and biscuit malt. The finish is salted lime and cucumber. Decent overall.

Can: Hay, lemongrass, and lime nose. Clear yellow, medium head, little retention. Cucumber, slight lemongrass. Light body, easy carbonation. Cucumber does not appear to be a good flavor for a lager.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a large fizzy white head. Aroma is a neutral lager malt with some citrus, Flavor is a light lager malt with some lime and a bit of heat well after the swallow hits you. They made a Corona with the lime already added. Kind of.

12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 5/22/2017. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy pale golden straw color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of juicy cucumber, lemon, lime, cracker, white bread, light pepper/salt, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt, fruit, and light earthy hop/pepper/salt notes; with solid strength. Taste of juicy cucumber, lemon, lime, cracker, white bread, light pepper/salt, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal/grassy bitterness and slight pepper spice on the finish. Lingering notes of cucumber, lemon, lime, cracker, white bread, light pepper/salt, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt, fruit, and light earthy hop/pepper/salt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Lightly increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly bready/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Slight touch of lingering pepper heat through the glass. Overall this is a good fruited pale lager. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt, fruit, and light earthy hop/pepper/salt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very well balanced between fruit and pils malts; just enough hops to balance the malt profile. Not as much pepper presence as I hoped for; but otherwise a nicely enjoyable, standard tasting, and inoffensive lager.

Can. A- Cucumber, subtle lime. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Cucumber, lime, grains. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Fairly refreshing although all the ingredients taste artificial. No detectable heat although I was drinking this while eating some jerk chicken. Not bad. It's at least a thirst quencher.

Can. Strong cucumber, light lime, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Hazy yellow with large white head. Moderately sweet cucumber, lime, light biscuit malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Light body - the merest hint of heat in the finish. Cucumber soda.

12 oz can poured. Cucumber Lime Habanero lager? I spent very little time deciding whether this beer was coming home with me. A pale golden yellow pour with a ton of foam head and lacing. This has so much cucumber and lime in it, it can hardly be called a pale lager anymore, in my opinion. If it is, this has to be the most flavorful in the style. The habanero is what sold me on this one. A noticeable heat keeps this extremely interesting. All cucumber and lime on the aroma, but the pepper shows up just enough in the flavor. After the slightly sweet flavor fades, the pepper reminder is all that’s left. Can’t stop drinking this as a result. I love beers like this. Weird style thats executed well. Really enjoy this. I think if the cucumber was a touch less, and the habanero was a touch more, I would love this, however this isn’t what they were going for.

Can Clear, light yellow-gold with a tall wite head. BIG cucumber aroma.....lime, grains. Flavour is salty cucumber, barley malt.....just a bit of peppery heat at the back. Very enjoyable.....good cucumber notes and just enough habanero to make it a little interesting.

Slightly hazy pale straw color. Full white head. Light pale golden malt aromas. Plenty of cucumber in the flavor and the touch of hot pepper is noticeable as it warms up. Light beer with sthe me interesting flavors.
