Pretty cucumber, a little on the bitter side.
By: customer review from 21/12/2015 on 20 March 2016These are attractive cucumbers and vigorous climbers. They are however a little bitter. It probably wouldn't be noticed that much mixed in a salad but these aren't for snacking on in my opinion. The bitterness is mostly in the skin though, so you can easily peel it off. The flesh itself is very nice.
