A Note on This Beer

The Cincinnati brewers Urban Artifact are the premier fruit masters of the Midwest — 6 of the Top 30 Fruit Beers in the World on BeerAdvocate.

And, today’s lightly puckering Sour Ale — infused with real cucumber, lime, and lemon slices — quenches thirst faster than you can let out a refreshing “ahh!”

Each effervescent gulp of this smasher is a culinary experience. Airy notes of melon and lime zest dance across the taste buds on the first sip, with zings of sweet-tart Meyer lemons on the backend. And, you’ll hardly notice the 7% ABV behind those bright streams of fruit flavor.

Fans are guzzling it down!

“I love this beer. It’s clean and refreshing.” @Ana B.
“Very light and citrusy. Extremely interesting!” @Andy M.
“The cucumbers are a really nice touch here.” @Tom L.
“Dope. Haven’t had a thing like it.” @Vinnie

There’s only one catch: Urban Artifact’s brews — especially those in their hyper-limited Epicurean series — are practically impossible to find outside of Ohio!

Tavour strictly supports independent beer. Urban Artifact is certified independent by the Brewers Association

Strange cucumber funk fades to a soapy lemon bitterness after you swallow. Odd, but not altogether unpleasant. Beer name is accurate.

Not as citrusy or fruity or sour as I expected (or was hoping for)… more like… beer with a hint of dirty cucumber and spice.

not my sorta drink, but fun to drink. not your typical Ale at all. does what it says on the can, tastes like cucumbers and lemon.

Huge cucumber aroma with light basil and citrus. Flavor follows aroma with the lemon and lime trying to sneak through the enjoyable sour notes. Super refreshing. Hard to believe it’s 7%.

Crisp, cucumber flavor dominates, supported by a light citrus breeze that makes for a perfect summer sipper. The cukes don't overwhelm, perfectly softened by the lemon-lime backdrop. Definitely one of the best cucumber brews.

A stronger citrus punch than I imagined, but overall a pleasant and drinkable crisp summer beer.

On a hot day you can’t beat this beer. I was genuinely surprised, this might be better than 10 barrel cucumber sour.

Great execution, might as well be a cocktail and a golden ticket to refreshment town. 100% see this being gin barrel aged and served on the rocks with a mint leaf.

This SHIT smells EXACTLY like cocaine(???!!!) and tastes like straight lemon juice - disgusting. This takes 2nd place for worst beer ive ever got from Tavour. 1st place can be found in previous tasting notes, dont remember the name.

cucumber skins up front, wheat on the back, sandwiched between these two terrible flavors is lemon lime 😒. I was imagining more like a soft, cucumber water with hints of citrus.

Hotel water, what can you say, such an unattractive name for a beer that taste so good. Try to offer your friend a beer, "Hey want to try some Hotel water?". Such a great artistic label though, I have always liked Urban Artifact sours and being a pickle lover this smacks. Think lemon lime pickle brine but on the lighter side, refreshingly great. I have since found it in multiple local shops to enjoy more of, weird looks each time at checkout
