Thornbridge Wye: "A Delicate Pale Ale lightly hopped with the unique and refreshing aroma of cucumber", and no joke. I hate cucumbers and this tasted of nothing but; I can still taste it. The ale doesn't feature on the Thornbridge website.

With "over 1000 cucumbers used in the brewing process", it sounds like it should be called Thornbridge Why...Originally Posted by Tris39
LOL my sentiments exactly! It is listed under their bottle section with the caveat that "THIS ITEM CANNOT BE DELIVERED OUTSIDE OF THE MAINLAND UK". It shouldn't have been delivered outside the brewery, imho.
I liked it.

I had a Watercress Ale from Paradigm recently. Seeing as watercress pretty much tastes of nothing ("peppery" suggested the pump clip) it came across as more of a decent session ale than anything else... Have also encountered Thornbridge Wye in bottled format. A friend of mine once described cucumber as "just a long, thin green tube full of water".

With current glut around I imagine many home brewers / gardeners will be gearing up for courgette something or other
I drink to make others more interesting
They have a Honey Dew Melon pale ale 4.5 coming soon so you have something to look forward to.
I recently had cask Shipyard Melonhead with a subtle and refreshing hint of melon. A gentle kiss on the lips from a melon was a pleasant surprise, but being beaten about the head with a cucumber is just too much. I've also had a cask ale that tasted of stilton - I forgot what it was so it may again catch me out by rearing its ugly foaming head!
I once visited the Garlic Farm on the Isle Of Wight. Now I like garlic but the garlic beer they sell was horrible.
I didn't expect it to be nice and it wasn't. It may be the only beer I haven't finished!

Arbor Lime In The Coconut was a strange concoction that shouldn't work, yet I kind of liked it here.
