Unibroue Éphémère Apple

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

Poured a hazy, golden color with an inch of fine foamy head. The nose was sharp with fragrent, green apple, corriander, orange peel and floral hops. The strong apple perfume in the nose led me to expect the same in the taste. This was not the case. The begining was a much more understated green apple up front, followed by subtle tartness and a mild sweetness. Orange zest and corriander intertwine with clove in the end. The feel was light/medium with perfect carbonation. The label promises a "remarkably well balanced mouthfeel" and delivers it dead on. Highly drinkable. This is a great alternative to the tipicle summer beer.

Draft, Proper pour with a nice head, pleasant apple aroma. I have had bottled before, draft seemed more carbonated (in this case it was a good thing). Great hot summer day kinda beer.

Pour is hazy light golden with thick heavy head. Aroma is of sweet apple with a little sour smell. Taste is real smooth with a nice suttle sweet apple flavor. The aftertaste is of sour apple peel. Tastey. Might buy again.

Lightly cloudy golden amber with a quarter-inch white head. Fruity apple aroma with a yeasty presence. Flavor is crisp and fruity, sweet with a lightly dry finish. Refreshing and good, but not something I’d drink often.

Pours a very cloudy amber...just like I like it! Minimal head, but that might have come down to pouring technique. Amazing aroma of apple, citrus, spicy and slightly of yeast. Taste is reminiscent of Alagash White, but with an apple touch. Refreshing and clean. UPDATE: Has a 2nd bottle, poured into a different glass from a greater height. This time with the result of fluffier head, which hung around for a bit. Noticeable carbonation as well.

pours a cloudy dark yellow with a very nice three finger creamy, fluffy, off white head. aroma is green apples, a little coriander, and curacao with a little unibroue yeast. has a light to medium body with descent lacing and good carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma. has a little creamy mouth-feel to it and there is more of a smooth sour than sweet apples to this beer. not to bad could be better though. interesting combination of flavors also.

Bottle. Thanks to richlikebeer. Pours a carbonated yellow color with a foamy white head. Powerful apple aroma. Not so pronounced on the taste. Lots of yeast in the taste.
