We've brewed our sour beer with a German hop variety called Huell Melon, which gives the beer its fresh melony notes, and after fermentation we've added some cucumber extract to give the beer a fresh, summer garden aroma.

Can from Morrisons Inveruei. It pours clear golden - amber with a small white head. The aroma is sweet - sour, tangy cucumber, pickled gherkins, sweet pickling juice and lactic edges. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, bit of soda water with like, green, vegetal, cucumber, pickled gherkin, some bitterness, savoury, toasted sesame, light vinegar and lemon rinse. Average body and moderate carbonation. Unusual, but kept me engaged for a while. Ok overall.

330ml can from Tesco. Poured a clear light golden colour with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is massive cucumber with a just a hint of melon. The flavour is light sour with a light, watery, cucumber palate. Medium bodied with soft to average carbonation. Not a beer I would buy twice. Lacks body and it’s pure cucumber juice. I’m surprised this one even got off the drawing board.

Can from Tesco Supermarket, Burnley. Golden with a creamy head. Cucumber is extremely stated in both aroma and taste, so a taste for this fruit helps. Its sourness is fairly low.

Clear gold, bugger all head. Actually smells of cucumber which even given the name I did it expect. A good hint of it along with a tangy melon flavour that is tart rather than sour I'd say. This is... I dunno. Odd. Not unpleasant, not one I'd rush back to but certainly distinctive.

Draft. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of cucumber, malt, and straw. The flavor is a bit sour with notes of cucumber and mlat, leading to a dry finish. Don't put cucumber in my beer, please!
