Unibroue Éphémère Apple

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

The beer pours a hazy golden yellow with a thin white head that quickly disappears. the nose is apple and yeast with a hint of spice. the flavor is apple but not overly sweet, it taste like an apple substitute was used and not really apples.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy dark yellow with not much head. The aroma was of a fruity champagne. The flavor was initially of apples, followed by grass. The aftertaste was non existent which really makes this an enjoyable summer beer. Overall, it was good.

This cloudy amber pour smells of apple and cinnamon. The taste isn’t much better, mainly sour green apples. It has a nice tart finish though.

750ml bottle. Murky yellow with big white foamy head that thins but doesn’t disappear. Reminds me of a saison. Citrus yeasty strong aroma. Very light taste is well blended, smooth, apple, lemon, tarty. A good summer beer that should be sold in large bottles unlike the 9 and 10%ers they sell.

This beer has a fuuuuulll fruty aroma, remembers me when i was kid to my cereal "fruti lupis" the apple is present in all this beer, very refreshing and excelent body, the look is nice and fresh, the head is sweet and decent in this style.

Pours a cloudy straw to golden color wth a thin white head. Aroma of sweet and juicy fruit dominates. Some spice noted. Flavor is clean crisp apple and spicy yeasty character as well. Not bad although not a style I usally go for.

Poured to a cloudy golden color with thin white head that dissipated fairly quickly and left okay lacing. Strong aroma was of green apples was evident from the start and persistent throughout. The mouthfeel was somewhat tingly and well carbonated, with the flavor being a somewhat tart extension of the nose. Finish started out sour, but then trended toward sweet as the malt kicked in. Truly something different on a hot summer night.

Truly a beer that looks absolutely refreshing in the glass: golden with lots of stuff going on in the glass. The aroma was also absolutely yummy. However, this is where the compliments end unfortunately. In the mouth the flavor was what I expected and the apple taste was somewhat of a minor chord, but the finish ruined it for me. Half way through the bottle the taste in the back of my throat was of sour, crabby apples. I do love the fact that the Unibroue folks are trying to be original, but this one didn’t do it for me.
