Cool as Cuke


A member of the “Moonlight Kettle Series” from Muskoka Brewery, Cool as Cuke is a pale ale brewed with cucumber juice and lemongrass. From Bracebridge, Ontario, this 4.7% alcohol ale comes in funky 473mL lunar cuke cans.

Cool as Cuke is a pale golden brew. It’s clear and pours with a short-lived white head. The beer has a veggie-rific flavour that has fresh cucumber notes aplenty. Cucumber is a notable presence in the flavour as well, though it remains sufficiently mild to avoid overkill. The pale ale side of the equation doesn’t have a lot to commend—it’s light a crisp, but clearly a cucumber vehicle. Of lemongrass, I didn’t really catch a taste.

A nice summer alternative to the hefeweizen, Cool as Cuke is refreshing and light, plus it’s a bit quirky. I liked it quite a bit.

Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
