On tap at Moon Dog, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of crisp cucumber skins, and a touch of citrus. Flavour brings out loads of crisp cucumber skins upfront and loads of citrus hops. Dry and punchy, with a crisp finish. Wish it was just cucumber, as that's the best part of this.

From a 330ml bottle on 26/4/2016. Pours a clearish golden with a medium white head. The nose is pretty subdued with a just a hint of zest and spice and doesn’t flag what’s to come. The flavour here is huge. Massively bitter, with the grapefruit immediately coating the tongue with oodles of cucumber in the background, along with some sweet citrus fruit. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Damn, this is different. Who’d have thought cucumber and beer would go together, but it actually works! A very full on brew which may prove too much for some, but a really interesting brew. God bless Moon Dog for having a go at this kind of thing.
