Elektrick Cukumbahh, Saison d'été. GABF GOLD MEDAL 2013. 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.6.4% ABV; rare.
