Unibroue Éphémère Apple

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

355 mL, bb 05-08-08. Cloudy pale gold with a medium head that lasts. Nose of green apple hard candy. Flavor of watery apple cider made with sour green apples. Aftertaste of bubblegum. Palate is light, slightly dry, fizzy and refreshing. Better fruit beers abound. That’s all ah hafta say ’bout that.

On tap at the Bocktown in Robinson. Slight sour apple aroma, but it is not overpowering, mostly you smell just plain old beer. Slight haze in this rather light yellow colored brew. Mild creamy carbonation. Taste does have some sour tart apple in there but again it is not overwhelming. For the most part, this is simply just a decent saison with a little apple tartness. As a fruit beer, this is one of the better ones.

355 mL bottle. Cloudy pale gold with a small head. Aroma of sweet apple cider, coriander, maybe a little tangerine and hay in there as well. Flavour is crisp; green apple dominates. Fairly heavily carbonated. Not something I’d drink often, but I’d try it again.

Refreshing and slightly strange brew. Apple cider and some spices without being overly autumnal. Metallic aroma and tart finish. Very good. Light and refreshing.

bottle poured into a flute, hazy golden in color with a ton of carbination in the glass and a puffy tall head on the glass. smell is sweet apples right away, some spice, wheat, yeast, and I think I can smell the coriander. taste is more watery than expected, apples, the wheat and yeast, high carbination and a little sour as you drink it, good dryness at the end

Purchased at Gomers of Kansas. Poured a yellow/golden cider color with little head. The aroma was of apples and cream. I was getting a lot of granny smith apples on the palate.

The 750 ML bottle poured a slightly hazy golden yellow colored beverage with a small fizzy white head that was quite gone in short order with little or no lacing being left on the glass. The aroma was APPLE! It was like pouring a glass of apple juice at first however upon close examination there were light notes of coriander, orange and malt in the background. The body was very light with lively carbonation and a watery texture. The flavor started out just slightly sweet, then went to just a hint of sourness in the middle and end. The finish was medium-short with a refreshing slightly dry presence.
