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

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.

Tap at the HCMC brewpub. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a thin white head and some broken lace. The aroma is big cucumber, light malt. The flavour is light bitter with a light watery dry malt, crispy fresh herbal, light dry hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.

On tap at Heart of Darkness, pours a hazy dull blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out very light cucumber and light biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with light-moderate cucumber and dry biscuity malt. Crisp and medium dry finish. Good stuff.

Draft - Light cucumber and touch of grains. Clear gold with a nice white head. Cucumber peel and grains with a very dry finish. Touch of skunk and bitterness. Not enough cucumber and not as refreshing as it sounds.
