Teenage Cucumber Slumber : Appearance
Vibrant hazy golden colour with a medium amount of pure white head on top that faded to a few bubbles on top of the beer.
Teenage Cucumber Slumber : Aroma
Peculiar – sea-like aroma to the nose with definite herbal dill. As it warms up, the saltiness becomes more pronounced and a light cucumber nose becomes present. Very weird – not quite like drinking a jar of pickle juice but definite allusions to something like a beer with a touch of the juice in it.
Teenage Cucumber Slumber : Taste
Sharp saltiness with sour notes. Herbal dill notes from start to finish and a really tough beer to nail down – do I like it or not?
Teenage Cucumber Slumber : The Bottom Line
It’s just a weird beer from start to finish – glad I tried it but even better that I only had a small glass of it.
