Growler, Zwanze Day, Nøgne Ø. An unclear, yellow beer with more or less no head. The aroma is dominated by cucumber, turning into pickled cucumber. Some lemony notes and pale malts mash as well. It’s quite vinegar-ish in the flavor, and combined with lots of cucumber there’s not much room for the other flavors. Dry and medium bodied, acidic and still sort of smooth on the palate, with cucumber and a good dash of vinegar in the finish. Both fresh and pickled cucumber that is. Sure not my favorite from Eik & Tid. Cucumber is nice, but this didn’t suit me very well. A small glass was ok, doubt a regular glass would be very pleasant. 161001

Holy Jesus. I have never tried a beer with cucumber before. And it both smell and taste cucumber. AND it is quite good. I would never have guessed that this would work.
Hazy pale golden color with a small white layer on top. Pleasant acidity. A bit round and nice mouth feeling. Also some citric notes.

Sampled at Nøgne Ø/Zwanze 2016. Unclear pale golden body with a small white head. Aroma is like a small explosion of cucumbers with acidity and sour fruit in the background. Flavor is acidic with malt, fruit, berries and yeast like the orifinal #5 but with a surprisingly strong cucumber flavor that plays tricks with my palate. I get the feeling of drinking pickles and can even sense some salt here. It’s not bad at all, but very strange and I think a glass or two would be enough. Fine body and sour cucumber in aftertaste as well. More of a novelty beer, but very funny and it works somehow.
