I had three beers on wednesday so decided to do a triple review instead of waste your previous screen pixels or RSS readers from space.
Cigar City Cucumber Saison
AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
adamjackson (393) - Canaan, USA – JUN 27, 2012
A – Cloudy orange glow. SRM of 10. Solid white head with tiny bubbles of 3 fingers that subsides quickly.
S – Smells like a freaking salad. So bright and flowery like fresh cut carrots, cucumber and sunflower seeds. Mineral water. Little bit of lemon in here as well.
T – Hmm. Well, the start is actually pretty nice. Peppery dry saison taste with nice simple farmhouse style hit on the tongue. Then, this massive cucumber and iceberg lettuce comes through and it all goes down hill. Finish is lemon or grapefruit juice.
M – 80% carbonation. Medium body. Dry tangy cucumber and lemon taste.
O – I honestly don’t know. I certainly wouldn’t have it again. It’s not too refreshing really. I guess if you love cucumbers? IDK.

O – Not a pleasant experience. It’s alright and drinkable.

A – Gorgeous golden appearance with hints of darker golden brown. Very hazy and completely cloudy all through. 2-finger head of solid white tight bubbles that subsided very slowly to a single finger and remained. Very nice head lacing.
S – Smells nice. Dry farmhouse funky yeast scent with big citrus notes and peppery spices.
T – Upfront spice with orange peels and slight bitterness but quickly fading hopz. Very attic must like dusty and stuck like an old shoe but that didn’t stick around too long. The finish was lemon and peppers
M – 100% carbonation. light body.
O – This is pretty good. I was hoping for more but it’s not that bad.
