Unibroue Éphémère Apple

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Fruit Beer
Chambly, Canada

Pours hazy gold. Small soft-drink like head. High bead. Light yeasty smell with the promised apples, coriander and Curaçao. It tastes like it too - although the apple flavour is pretty restrained. The Curaçao seems to flatten the fizzy palate a little - maybe just orange peel and more spices would have worked better. I liked this better than the last time I tried it, perhaps because this time I just walked the dog on a hot night. 150ml in a flute in those circumstances is a nice drink.

golden yellow with a white head and light lacing. vanilla and banana on the nose and of course green apples. bitterness increasing towards the end. tangy.

Bottle from a sampler pack - Golden pour with a nice big fizzy white head. Smell is wonderful, light and delicate apple with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg. The curacao adds a little sweetness, but it’s subtle and not overpowering. Fairly tart, but not puckering. Taste is the same apple, dry and a bit tart wit the subtle spice and a bit of malt that sits on the top of the mouth. Finishes with the curacao, yet dry with a mineral or aspirin quality. It was a little cold out of the fridge, and the carbonation bit and burned, but as it warmed up it became a little more accessible. Overall, a slightly tart, pleasantly fruity beer. I am a sucker for the fruit beers...

Sampled from 4 pack. So far into my 3rd beer of the four pack the Apple Esphemere is the best of the bunch. It pours a light colored yellow. Not as dark as I would have expected. Lighter in color than most apple juice. Light head. Aromas of corriander, apples, white pepper, and clove. Has a nice bright zestiness to it. Tastes only slightly tart with similar flavors. Heavy on apple but not overdone. Really like this one.

750ml bottle. pours a pale yellow with a huge fizzy white head that lasts throughout the beer. aroma is dominated by green apple. some yeast and wheat in there too. taste is a bit grassy, and tart from the apple. little to no hop present. mouthfeel is very light, perfect for a hot summer day.

No. Over-light artificial-ish apple flavor - harsh unbalanced carbonation. Not for me.

Bottle. Thanks Danny. Pours a clear orange with minimal white head. Aromas of green apple. Flavour has a littlle apple. For me the carbonation was too high and really takes away from the beer. Didn’t really like this one.

Bottle pours a cloudy golden with a fizzy white head. Aroma is apples, belgian spice, and bready yeast. Flavor is sour apple, light spice and yeast. Very lively on the tongue with a slightly puckering finish.
