Queen City Cucumber Cream Ale
Mill House Brewing Company

 

 

Smells like some kind of sour candy at first. The cucumber has a a sweet backing. lemony too. Malty beer with the earthy refreshing taste of cucumber. It's not overly sweet although it's not dry either. Some bitterness from hops and bitter cucumber peel finish it with lots of malt and spice form hops. Crisp bubble a little sweet.

 

 

 

 

 

The cucumber in this cream ale is overflowing out of the glass. Hugely aromatic, even though you might not think of cucumber itself is being especially aromatic. This is not a timid experimentation with cucumber, it is a bold celebration of cucumber. Underneath all that is a nice solid cream ale, which is a really interesting choice for this particular implementation. It kind of works, albeit in a somewhat surreal, nonsensical way. This is a really good beer, I just don't know if I could see myself drinking a full Pint of it, and I actually really love cucumber as a flavor.

 

 

 

Pours a translucent light gold color. The head is minimal, ring around the glass of white lace.

The smell is 100% cucumber, a little dried hay, and corn meal. The flavor is cucumber water at a spa. Don't judge. They call this a lawnmower beer and it can be crushed in warm weather. Great clean refreshing finish.

Fun beer.
