Distinct cucumber on the nose with aromatic chilli and a touch of honey. Cooling cucumber and sweet malt in the mouth give way to a gentle bitterness and a short burst of spicy heat.

Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of green pepper and cucumber. Flavour is above light sweet and bitter. The pepper builds but balances nicely with the cucumber. Light bodied with soft carbonation.

Fits the description. Aroma of cucumber and slight pepper. Taste starts with malt sweetness and heavy cucumber with a burn at the crisp finish. The chili heat intensifies a little in the aftertaste. Delicious.

Tap at the Ho Chi Minh brewpub. Poured a crystal clear light golden colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is big fresh cucumber. The flavour is light bitter with a light watery cucumber, malt, crisp warm, slightly burning chilli spice palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
