10 Barrel Brewing Co. Crush Cucumber Sour

What the brewers say

“A kettle sour to complement the easy-drinking qualities of cucumber.”

What our panel thought

“Sweet cucumber nose with a touch of watermelon juice and rind. Clean, gentle acidity tempered by earthy cucumber. Bright acidity helps cut some of the sweetness and maintain drinkability. Would like more carbonation, but overall well-executed.”

What our editors thought

“Sharply defined sweet cucumber notes echo watermelon with a slight hint of lemongrass. The beer itself is nicely structured, with an initial hit of lactic lemony acidity, light malt, and quick finish that cleanses the palate for the next sip.”
