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

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.

Light clean pilsner, the cucumber is there, but not really overwhelming, slightly malty nose. Crisp finish. Works in today’s heat.
