Shared with JLindros. Bottle 75 of 999.
A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice hazy golden hue with a thin half finger head that fades to leave a nice halo and thin blanket.
S - Aromas of cucumbers, honeydew melon, and light tangerine. The melon and cucumber are big and bold. The juniper is super faint and floral. Nice blonde notes too...can't get over the melon and cucumber.
T - Taste is quite tart and sour, light blonde notes. Man alive does this have loads of cucumbers and honeydew. The juniper is much more earthy. Good tartness with the tangerine zest coming out nicely. Loads of melon.
M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, crisp.
O - Overall this beer was really nice with loads of melon and cucumber. Really enjoy the melon aspects. Quite lovely.

Pours a light golden color, slightly hazy with short-lasting head. Aroma of pilsner malt, slight melon and cucumber, euro hops, light juniper, sour citrus. Flavor is on par with the aroma with more melon and cucumber coming through as it warms. Not a punch in the pace sour, more like sucking on a lime that has been soaked in water. Feel is light carbonation is med-high. Overall not bad, but would like it to be more sour. The Tequila BA variant is better and more complex.

Another awesome beer thanks to rudzud.
Decent fizzy very big bubble small head fades fairly quickly, hazy straw golden tan color.
Nose brings bright fruit, nice tangerine and little melon, some cucumber bright cucumber too, little peachy note, some doughy grainy blond notes as a base, very faint juniper note with a tangerine zest.
Taste brings more fruits, bit a musty earthy flavor like juniper earthy fruit, and some citrus zest, and some cucumber. Plenty of juicy fruit, tangerine, melon, little melon but not a ton. Some earthy gassy hops too, just a little, that offsets the grassy grainy blond malt. Plenty of zest late, with more cucumber, finishing dry and a fair bitterness, earthy bitter juniper and earthy gassy hops I think.
Mouth is med to lighter bod, nice carb, little sticky on finish.
Overall very nice, light base blond that holds up, with great melon, nice tangerine and citrus, nice cucumber, and thankfully light juniper. Enjoyable and tasty.

Draft. Billed as a cucumber melon sour. Poured a golden opaque yellow with a finger of white fluffy head. Smells of cucumber, melon and a little hops. Tastes a little sour. Much like a dry white wine. Nice dinner brew. Finishes clean and sour. Not picked up sour but sour. Interesting beer. Try it. You'll like it. Definitely get cucumber and melon. Lemons make it sour.
