10 Barrel Brewing Co. Crush Cucumber Sour

“Candy-like sweet jammy raspberry aroma, with a beautiful pink lasting head, creates anticipation. Luxurious raspberry aroma alongside tannins with a layer of vanilla. Bright, almost jammy raspberry-filling flavor coats the mouth. Acidity is noticeable but not harsh, and moderately full body is a canvas to showcase the fruit.”

“Nose of overripe strawberries left in the sun. Madagascar vanilla, strawberry, marshmallow flavors up front; a hit of cherry sweetness balanced by some trademark Berliner tartness, and some dry earthy character on the finish. The acid is a little too high to be sessionable.”

**Aroma:** “Lots of crisp cucumber that has a clean, light sweetness and a mild tart character. The cucumber aroma is complemented with a light spiciness and low grass, and some floral notes underneath. Some malt and acidic notes show through.” **Flavor:** “The cucumber flavor is very present throughout the taste. It’s light, crisp, and refreshing, and provides a light sweetness. Behind the flavor sits a nice tartness that adds a defining note. The moderate carbonation at the end of the sip plays up the sourness and helps the cucumber flavor persist throughout the finish.” **Overall:** “This gets the balance between fruit and beer just right. A moderate salt character balances with the sourness and is rounded out by a moderate carbonation level. The cucumber works really well with the tartness, and there is a continual refreshing aspect, which makes it very drinkable.”
