12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville. Pours a hazy dark amber color with a large foamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of cucumber and hibiscus which combine to form watermelon candy with a bit of a spiciness. Some caramel malts in there as well. The taste is strong, bitter and herbal cucumber, spicy hibiscus notes in the finish. Muted caramel malts. Certainly an odd beer, but it’s solid.

Bottle. Pours a caramel/copper color with a smallish head and aromas of... wow... cucumbers. Didn’t know that could be a dominant aroma like that. Flavor is a bit of a mess... A caramel and floral undercurrent with a dominating (almost fake) cucumber presence. This would be much better (in my opinion) as a pale beer without the hibiscus/floral component to muddle the waters,but it is certainly interesting.

Pours deep gold into a shaker. Off-white head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Very sweet hibiscus and wax lips aromas. Sharp with cucumber and hay upfront turning to cherry lip balm before the dry, bitter lasting flowery finish.
