Nice looking brew
Smell is pleasant
Taste is strong cucumber but artificial sadly.
Feel is as in beers name crushable.
Overall this is a very good summer beer, with only knock being cucumber taste over the top artificial. Wish more breweries brewed cucumber style beers definitely as they are rare. CBC has brewed the best cucumber beer imo

Aroma is a complex mix of cucumbers, fruit, tropical fruit and mild sweetness. The flavor is fruit/cucumbers, tropical fruit, malts and a mildly sweet/tart finish.

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours translucent yellow with a tiny head. Smells of citrus and cucumber. Tastes of fresh cucumber with just a hint of citrus. Beer is light bodied and very easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a good beer.

Look: Slightly hazy dull yellow with a quick-forming head that rapidly settles to a film and leaves minimal lacing behind
Aroma: Cucumbers, lactobacillus tartness, wafts of wheat, and some cereal grains
Taste: Starts out with a quick hit of wheat malt before a wave of cool cucumber flesh comes crashing in and steals the spotlight. Tartness enters at this point and spars well with the cucumber, at times almost bringing about a watermelon flavor to the table and closes with a light but tingly sour note that pops on the tongue
Mouthfeel: Light but full, pretty clean, medium-high carbonation, and sour and slightly dry on the finish
Overall: I dig this beer. I’ve always liked the concept of cucumber in a light and refreshing beer since it is such a light and refreshing vegetable, plus isn’t strongly flavored enough to overpower subtleties or other components of a beer. This is a perfect use and example of said type of beer and is well-made, refreshing as hell, and tasty to boot

This brew, from a “generic” style white aluminum can, is a clear golden liquid with a blanket-like soft foamy head. The aroma has a bit of vegetable notes, but not necessarily cucumber. There is some grain scent, but not a lot else going on. The taste is not as sour as expected….it is balanced with a tart quality. There is a bit more cucumber in the taste, compared to the nose. The finish is clean, although there is some sweetness that lingers. This is an interesting beer, but could be so much better with some more sourness, less sweetness, and more flavor.

Faint light smell of cucumbers
Light golden color
Light-medium mouthfeel
Medium carbonation
Taste of cucumber does come through, but not strongly so it is nicely balanced. Light tartness/sour aftertaste
Overall a refreshing beer, but not really like a sour beer. More light a cucumber pilsner so rating it based on description.

Appearance: Pours a light hay-hued body, nearly clear, with a steadily evaporating, white head.
Smell: Meager, modest grains, some faux sourish citrus. Restrained cucumber. Its sourish, funky characteristics are particularly subdued, so it presents only a modest pickle aroma.
Taste: Lightly sweet, lightly grainy, then, a perceived hint of citrus acidity. It's a very lightly sourish sour with a cucumber flavoring that, while likely artificial, is not altogether unpleasant. Also, it's a swift taste, here for a brief moment, then gone.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-light carbonation.
Overall: I don't mind the occasional pickle, but I do not like raw cucumber, finding but the taste, smell and texture to be rather unappealing. So it is that this beer only made it into my home, my sanctuary alongside its brethren within the Beers of Cheer 24-pack. And even then, I've reached for nearly all of the others, leaving this one to sit because, well, cucumber. Ultimately, it's like a mild, lager-like ale dosed with a bit of lactic acid and cucumber flavor. Even then, I don't mind the thing...
