A fresh Pilsner with a soft, malt body and a gentle summer brightness. The addition of cucumber makes it refreshing, yet interesting.

Can at home. Not sure where I got from. Golden pour and clear texture, frothy white head. Nose is cucumber and crackery. Tastes the same perhaps some florals as well. Tingly palate.

12oz can from Brewers Haven. Cloudy golden pour, foamy white head. Cucumber in the aroma, along with some citrus and hops. Cucumber comes through solidly in the taste. Solid summer quencher.

Tap at Taps. Clear golden body, white head. Low, dry dusty body, maybe vaguely buttery. Very dry taste, with pleasant cucumber notes saving it, trace bitterness in the finish. Dunno, not getting much outside of the cucumber notes, but works.
