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

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

On draft at Hair of the Dog Bangkok. Pouts a hazy pale gold with a white head. Aroma is cucumbers and the flavor is my sweet cumber and bread. Not particularly to my liking.
