From the brewer

It's officially summer and cucumbers are coming into harvest. Cooling cukes are such a nice treat that we decided to make a Saison d'été with them. Adding a large amount of English cucumbers per barrel, and just enough lemon zest to lend an overall brightness to the beer, this recipe is quickly becoming legendary.

Who's been drinking this

Clear cucumber smell. Unpleasantly bitter at first, but quickly mellows out to reveal a pleasing mix of cucumber and melon flavors. Leaves an unpleasing aftertaste afterward.
I don't know if I can describe this beer accurately. The scent of cucumber is unmistakable, a kind of wet, vegetal sharpness. The flavor is surprisingly fruity, almost canteloupe-like at first, finishing cool and cucumber-like with a bit of that bitter skin flavor to finish. For something that could have been so terrible, it was actually enjoyable.
