On tap at the Grand Canyon Winery. Pours a clear, pale yellow, with a big, frothy, white head. Strong cucumber aroma, with some rosemary, pine sap, and honey. Sweet and crisp. Light body, with a clean, watery feel. This is interesting, but not that tasty.

32oz growler pours with a crystal clear gold body that supports a dirty white head. The aroma offers up cucumber and tannin smelling cucumber skin as well as thin whispers of sweet malts. The taste is similar with cucumber that leads into sweet malts and more cucumber that starts to pick up a bitter note. To midway the bitterness grows into vaguely bitter spicy hops. Pretty good but the malt sweetness interferes with the cucumber crispness that’s trying to happen here. Still pretty nice but less sweetness would help.

A pale blonde lager with a thin white head. In aroma, loads of fresh cukes, light mineral notes, light crisp malt, nice. In mouth, a surprisingly nice mix of crisp biscuit malt over cucumber pulp, grassy hops, light mineral notes, refreshing. On tap at brewery.

On tap at Papago, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh cucumber, not much else. Flavour brings out crisp cucumber skins dominating, along with straw and biscuity notes underneath. Decent but unexciting lager. Refreshing.

On tap at Black Hole Brewing. Pours a clear gold with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong cucumber and dill. Thin mouth, strong cucumber, wheat, light finish, good.
