From Hearthstone Brewery in North Vancouver in collaboration with West Coast Canning comes their "Cool Hand Cuke" a cucumber sour ale made for the new CanCity canned beer festival in Vancouver. The beer pours a golden colour with a small white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma is comprised of cucumbers with a hint for tartness. The flavour starts out with a definite lactobacillus tartness without a big acidic hit followed by cucumbers and a hint of malts. The alcohol content comes in at 4% with an IBU of 00. This is a seriously fantastic beer and I hope that they plan on making more of this in the near future!
