Our Hippy Berliner was such a success that we ebbed to consumer demand and brewed a special edition with the addition of cooling cucumber. Bursting with sweet cucumber notes, balanced by lemon peel and tropical fruits. On the palate this beer is puckering, but very refreshing, full of cucumber, citrus and balanced by light hopping, finishing very clean.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to stange glass.
Appearance: soft golden yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: light notes of cucumber with some sweet grains, some citrusy tones and subtle sweet wheat
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart arrangement then some light bitter notes underneath; finishes leaning into the cucumber and sweet grains
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; fairly smooth along the tongue with some light citrusy tart tones
Overall: actually came across pretty nice for what it is, but I don't see this as a a Berliner weisse. I'd still come back to this.

Can at BPBW. Kellemesen savanyu, kifejezetten uborkas karakterrel. Picit tul sok a karbonacio, de egyebkent nagyon frissito. Adom.

440ml can. (4.0% ABV) Pours a hazy straw colour with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Aroma of bready wheat malt, cucumber peel, vegetal, lemon and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready wheat malt, cucumber flesh, lemon, green veggies and floral hops in a dry, tart lacto finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing, not bad.

16 oz. can, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out moderately dank hops, with biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with passionfruits, tangy notes and cucumber skins. Crisp and tangy. Solid.
