3.51/5  rDev -10.5%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow, fizzy 1.5" head that quickly recedes, no lacing. Nose is essentially bread and butter pickle brine with its mix of salinity and sweet malt notes, along with some light oak. Taste, however, plays much more towards a straight sour pickle - tart, salty, and bracing. Carbonation is a little light, however, and the overall feel is a little heavy given the moderate abv.

Ooofff this is hard to take. A vegetal Berliner just tastes...off, like cucumber water gone horribly awry. Also this is a good deal more sour than is typical for the style. Overall this is a fairly emphatic "no".

Pint can packaged 4/27/21
Appearance - clear bronze, light head, settled quickly.
Smell - vegetables
Taste - borderline undrinkable since it's so sour, and I like sours. Definite cucumber flavor - tastes like a whole cucumber in the can. Distinct foeder taste. I ended up putting a large handful of crushed ice in the glass which resulted in a still fairly flavorful beer. Good for hot weather.

This beer has nice aromatics but there just isn't enough cucumber for the level of acid, especially when compared to the other beers in this series. It needs to be just a little bit brighter to stand up.

A: Poured into a new Belgium globe to a light golden orange beer which was topped by a dense and slightly rocky finger of white head which fades quickly to a collar around the edge of the glass with minimal lacing
S: Smells of cucumbers and sourness with a hint of oak
T: Taste is pretty tart on the front end with some nice cucumber flavor along with a touch of oak and creamy wheat. On the swallow there's more creamy wheat, tartness, and cucumbers.
M: This beer is fairly light in body but I would not consider it to be watery. Carbonation is effervescent and slightly prickly while the beer has a drying finish due to the acidity.
O: Overall this is another nice addition to the frucht series. Really nice cucumber flavor on top of a very solid base beer. It's like sour cucumber infused water if you're into that sort of thing.
