Steamworks Killer Cucumber Ale

Killer Cucumber Ale is a light summer ale "dry hopped" with organic cucumbers in the fermentor, and again in the conditioning vessel. Bready malt along with citrusy and earth hops in the background supports the refreshing cucumber nose and palate. Belgian yeast rounds out the profile with a hint of apricot and black pepper, while high carbonation and medium-light body add a thirst-quenching finish.

Ingredients: water, barley malt (Golden Promise, Vienna), wheat malt, organic cucumbers, hops (Cascade, Fuggles), Belgian yeast.

2.8 Tap at Goblet ZG. Lightly hazy golden-yellow body, lasting white head. Stale cucumber and honey in the aroma. Cucumber and some wort-like maltiness in the aroma... ok, no.

2.7 Piana raczej niska, koloru białego, zredukowała się do odrobiny na brzegach pokala. Kolor piwa żółty, w kuflu pływają farfocle pewnie od ogórków, raczej mało przyjemny widok. W zapachu czuć wyraźnie ogórek, ze słodem w tle, do tego nutkę pszenicy i chleba. W smaku lekka goryczka, z wodnistym i lekko słodkim posmakiem ogórkowym, do tego również słód. Powtórki nie będzie, choć biedy nie było.

3.3 0.473l can. Drank from the can. Aroma of cucumber, hops and malt. Taste is bitter and little sweet. I never would have thought that cucumber would be good in beer, but I'm glad to be proven wrong.

2.8 Bottle. Malty aroma and taste, cucumber in taste, medium bitter. Medium body, malty cucumber bitter finish. Not a good combination for me. Average.

2.7 Without any doubt the weirdest beer I ever tasted. The Pinkish brown hazy beer with the thin head looks not appetiting. The arom has cucumber, honey and ground.the taste has faint cucumber and is very sweet. The sweetness reminds me of lime honey beer. The basic beer tends to a belgian white, not to a weizen.

3.4 Bottle, 0.33l. Cloudy pale orange pour, one finger soapy white head, short lasting. Minimal lacing on the glass. Nose has caramel malt and distinct cucumber notes. Quite interesting. I had some cucumber flavored beers before and it actually goes quite well together, let's see how this one fares. Thin body, soft to medium carbonation. Light mouthfeel and texture, soft on the tongue. This one goes down quite smoothly. Mild bittersweet taste with subtle tartness. Aroma pretty much as expected, combination of malt, citrus hops, grassiness and, ofcourse - cucumber. And it's quite nice actually. Well balanced and refreshing brew. Would definitely pick it up again occasionally.

2.4 послевкусие огурца присутствует, но ничего интересного в самом пиве нет, алкогольным вкусом или горечью не давит, в обшем, средне

3.0 33 cl. bottle. A clear golden coloured beer with a white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, hops and a sweet finish with a taste of cucumber.

2.1 33 cl bottle at home. Drank on July 19th 2019 as Steamworks Killer Cucumber Ale (4,7%). Not good.

3.1 (bottle 0,33l) Overall: Interesting, cucumber, but not so extra. Aroma: Cucumber, light spicy. Appearance: Clear yellow with floating bits. Medium, white head. Taste: Medium sweet, citrusy, light cucumber, candy sweet, light spicy, light bitter. Palate: Medium body. Ligth bitter finish.

3.3 Aroma ist grain and grassy cucumber peel. Starts quite fresh, medium body, fresh cucumber in the end. Decent summer sipper.

3.3 Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of cucumber, wheat and grass. Pours clear golden color with thin creamy white head and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts medium sweet malty, following is vegetably and fruity, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is average bitter. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Sufficient daily dose of vegetables...

3.9 Dégustée en bouteille de 33cl Une couleur blonde presque ambrée, une belle mousse qui se maintient bien. Un nez assez pauvre/classique. Assez surprenant en bouche, une légère acidité très agréable qui pourrait rappeler le concombre si on cherche bien. Très agréable à boire et petit plus pour la magnifique bouteille et capsule.

3.3 22.05.2019 -- 0.33l bottle from real in spandau. pours a slightly hazy pale golden with a medium head. aroma of green tea, citrus, cucumbers. flavour of cucumbers, indeed, along with some grass, lemongrass, black pepper, and lemons. light and refreshing summer beer, I liked it, just as a cucumis lemonade.

2.3 Pours golden clear with a pronounced, yet quickly diminishing white, bubbly top. Aroma is mild lager like. Hops, nothing else quite there. Taste is overpowered by carbonation, with a hoppy kick and a quick, empty finish. Good for a hot summer day after a run, I guess.

3.1 Bottle from Beerwulf. Aroma is refreshing cucumber with pale malt and some citrus. Mild sweet and bitter flavour. Body is medium. Pretty basic aroma, the cucumber works pleasantly, easy and refreshing beer.

3.1 0.33 l bottle from local 'real', best before November 2019. Almost clear, golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, fruity-floral aroma of citrus and cucumber with a touch of gooseberry. Moderately sweet, slightly bitter, herbal-floral and a bit fruity taste of grains, cucumber and some citrus, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently dry and a little grassy finish. Almost medium-bodied, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Pleasant but not very outspoken. A bit too grainy, would have liked even more cucumber.

3.2 Can. Clear dark gold with an impressive white head. Aroma of honey and a little bit of cucumber. Taste: Malts and honey. Fruity and strangely vegetal...probably cucumber. Almost no bitterness. Low to medium carbonation. Very refreshing. A nice beer for your next vegan BBQ.

2.7 0,33 l Flasche. Riecht und schmeckt wirklich nach Gurke. Ob man das haben muss?

2.9 Schaum.... welcher Schaum? Gurkig, frisch, bitter, nicht hopfig. Nasenkörper Gurkenförmig.

3.2 Achetée chez NOZ. Bière orangée au nez citroné et épicé. Bouche pas top mais on retrouve le concombre.

3.5 Certainly, this beer does not offer an explosion of taste impressions. It is described as a light summer beer and I would agree. The refreshing cucumber aroma is clearly there, but mild enough to blend well with the grassy hops, which remind me of a pilsner. On the tongue, the cucumber is refreshing and very natural (as indeed real cucumbers have been used). This is not a complex beer, quite the contrary. It deserves some points for creativity.

2.6 Så og si klar gulbrun farge med lavt hvitt skum. Lukter malt, agurk, krydder. Noe rar i smak. Agurk kjenner man godt. Lettdrikkelig.

3.1 33cl bottle from Iperconad, Rimini, Italy. Pours pale gold, medium transparency, with white fine foam. Aroma is mostly cucumber, with some yeast. Body is average with tickling carbonation. Taste is delicate, with moderate sweetness. Cucumber again very relevant. Finish is average.

2.3 Golden with a white head - malt with cucumber aroma with hints of hops - malt body with cucumber flavour and hints of hop bitterness - malt and cucumber goes into the finish - this was ok

3.0 A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of cucumber, malt, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of cucumber, malt, and straw, leading to dry finish.

2.3 Gusto verde accennato Industriale anonima

2.0 CraftbeerFestival Kalsruhe 2019

2.9 Taster from tap at William's pub, Ljubljana. Clear pale golden, small off-white head. Very malty, grain, bread, sugar, light esters such as apricot. No cucumber? Light herbal or spicy note in the back. The beer seem to be in good shape, but the spices are lost. More like a simple golden ale. Light body. Soft carbonation. Light finish.
