Bottle (750 ml). Shared by Franky Boy, thanks! Hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma of Unibroue yeast, apple and wheat. Taste is about the same. Medium body and medium carbonation. Good easily drinkable and refreshing beer. Not really complex though.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée pâle et voilée. Nez fruité (pommes vertes), léger de levures fruitées (notes d’agrumes) avec des notes de grains de malt ainsi que des des traces d’épices (poivre) et de houblon herbeux. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-élevé ainsi qu’une texture aux notes minérales. Goût fruité aux faibles traces acides (pommes vertes) avec un léger goût de levures fruitées (agrumes) ainsi que des traces épicées (poivre, muscade) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute des traces de grains de malt oâle, de blé et de houblon herbeux. Post-goût moyen, composé d’un léger goût fruité (pelures de pommes) avec des notes herbeuses.

Poors clear pale yellow with decent head and lacing. Fruity apple aroma. Sweet and fruity taste, a little tart and bitter. High carbonation. A bit like sparkling wine with cider. Low moderate mouthfeel. Good. Would like to try again. Seems very light and drinkable. Maybe good for a non beer drinker who likes fruit. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Pours a hazy dark golden color with a moderate white head. Nose is a little sweet and generically fruity. Taste is much the same. Meh.

Tasted from a fancy 12 oz brown bottle into a mini schooner. It poured a cloudy orangish amber colour with thin but persistent white foam and some Belgian lace. Strong aromas: apple, apple, apple, with some husky grains , citrusy coriander, distinctive peppery Unibroue Belgian yeast phenols, even very faint noble-ish hops. Flavors of apple again, which I don’t usually like very much in beer, but this baby had enough tart and crackery Belgian Wit characteristics to win me over. Light body, high carbonation, obviously fruity but after awhile a crisp dry finish. Much nicer than I expected. A highly recommended novelty.

Very very mild and light flavor and personality except for the carbonation which is stinging. Dry and lacks a needed sweetness. Green apple nose and a little less in the flavor marked by drying apple peel. Cinnamon.

Bottle picked up at Consumers Beverages Niagara Falls New York. Pours a cloudy golden yellow, big white head that dies down quite a bit, and some strings of lace. Nose of soap, a little barnyard and apple. Tastes light, wheat like, apple. Pretty decent.

On tap at Adega Wine Cellar & Cafe in Silver Spring, MD. Very hazy, sparkling straw-yellow with 2-finger white head and good lacing. Aroma of tart apple, tropical fruit, yeast and wheat. Taste of yeast, watermelon, wheat, tart apple and lemon. Medium/light body and medium/high carbonation. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap at Global Brew. Pours a pale cloudy yellow with a nice small bead white head. Aroma is green apples. Clean mild taste of sweet pale malt and apples. IMO, this is the Blanche Chambly with apple juice. This is very good and refreshing!

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy straw yellow with a fluffy one finger head. Not much in the way of lacing but pretty good head retention. Lots of apple in the aroma, almost a candy apple quality along with some very light caramel. Apple really dominates, though. Lots of apple up front in the taste along with a decent amount of tartness transitioning into a light wheat character. The entire mouthfeel is very light with just slight bitterness towards the finish. Very refreshing. Overall, this beer is a little one dimensional but very nicely put together. Would be wonderful on a hot day during the summer.
