Unibroue Éphémère Apple

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

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.

Very smooth, certainly refreshing and pretty good but I have a tough time viewing this as a beer. If someone told me that this was a hard cider I might believe them. A golden, yellow look to it, cloudy with a nice thick foamy head. Aroma is sweet and fruity, what I at first thought might be rasberries mixed in with apples. The flavor is very smooth and refreshing, perfect for the summer. The 5.5% is much lower than other Unibroue selections I’ve had, but they still do a great job hiding what alcohol is in there. Definitely a unique brew, at least to me it is. A sweet apple flavor dominates the flavor, not overpowering in the least and again, not something I would usually drink as a beer but it does go down good in the sun. A slight yeast note in there worth noting. Overall it’s a nice change from the norm. I suggest giving it a try, you might really like it. Although, while it’s a great "sun" beer, there are much less pricey beverages to seek out while mowing the lawn.

Bouteille de 341 ml. La bière se présente avec une couleur or voilée avec une mousse blanche pétillante qui reste tout au long de la dégustation. Au nez des arômes de jus de pomme, de levure, de citron et d’épices se présentent à mon sens de l’odorat. En bouche la bière est pétillante et nous offres aussi une texture légèrement crèmeuse. Les saveurs sont les pommes vertes, la levure, certaines épices douces ainsi qu’un léger goût d’alcool. Des notes de caramel et de cannelle sont aussi présentes. La finale est rafraîchissante, tranchante, légèrement acidulée, douce et tout cela en parfaite harmonie. Excellente bière d’été

Pours hazy golden yellow with small white head. Strong aromas of apples and Unibroue yeast. Flavor is mildly sweet with hints of apples and yeast. The apple is not as overpowering as I would have thought based on the stong apple smell. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Not bad, but not something I would drink on a regular basis.

Pours a cloudy orange with about two fingers of head. Apples and coriander in the odor. Taste of caramel and apple, but the sweetness doesn’t overpower it- it’s still got a good taste of beer to it. Very interseting.

Bottle. Pours cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is candy apple, granny smith apple, and light caramel. Medium body. Flavor is less sweet than the aroma, with notes of apple skin and an overall tart sweetness. Pretty good.

Hazy, golden with a slightly greyish hue and a huge, nice head. The aroma has notes of green apples, sweetness and malt. The flavour also has a lot of fresh, green apples, hints of yeast, caramel and the overall impression is smooth and pleasant. So if you are looking for a nice apple/fruit beer - then you should try this one!

341ml brown bottle. Pours yellow gold tone with a large soft and fluffy white head. Beer is slightly hazed. Aroma is green apple, caramel and cotton candy, some Unibroue house yeast aroma lurks in the background. Flavour has dryish malts below a spicy, appley sweet note, finishes dry and yeasty with some grain and straw like flavour. Medium body with pretty active, somewhat sparkling tight bubbled carboantion profile. Have had out of corked 750s several times and seemed to enjoy it just a bit better from those, but that just may be a mental thing.
