Unibroue Éphémère Apple

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

Foggy orange. Very clouded. Aroma has me all kinds of messed up. Smell from the table to my nose was pure green apple. When I put my nose in the glass, it changes completely! Reminds me of 2nd grade art class. When the scents of chemicals, paint and apples that rested upon Mrs. Kolfer’s desk combined and reached my nose, it formed this aroma. Taste is poor compared to the aroma. Dry and sour nasty. Finish is all Italian seasoning. Gross.

I’ve had this bottle for at least 6 months. Came home after walking the dog and wanted a beer. This was the one I chose. Pours a pale yellow with a two inched white head in my unibroue glass. The aroma is very simple. Apple, pale malt, wheat and Unibroue yeast. The taste is also quite simple. The distinctive tart, crisp and green taste of granny smith apples with Unibroue yeast. Carbonation is nice. I just can’t wrap my head around fruit beers enough to give this one a higher score.

buttery soft and fruity with sweet fresh baked green apple. oily and creamy with hardly too much beer character yet interesting demonstrative and flowery. a mans brew? maybe not but add some pie crust and....it’s fixed! interesing.

Sample on Tap at FFF Brewpub. Pours light yellow similar to a fruit wine. Lots of apples in the nose, lots of apples in the flavor, lots of apples in the palate, lots of apples in the finish, lots of apples in the burp...How do you like them apples? In all seriousness, this was a very nice, light, crisp, refreshing treat. If there weren’t such a great tap lineup at FFF I would have had a glass. Better at cooler temps, I would suggest. I will be on the lookout for a bottle.

Draft sample. Cloudy gold pour with . Apples, apples, and more apples in the aroma- green to be specific. The flavor was obviously more green apples, and while tart, didn’t have as much of a punch as the nose. Some fruit beers overwhelm, but this was very pleasant and more reserved. It also was a lot more natural tasting than most other fruit beers. Medium body with crisp, soft mouthfeel. Not bad at all, and a small one of these is nice in the summertime.

On tap at Brew Garden in Clearwater. Aroma of green apple, definatley, but interestingly, I did not taste any tartness or acility in the flavor. I actually tasted more of an orange extract & vanilla--a nice fruitiness, but, again, no citrus or acidity. Nice mouthfeel, a little heavy. Very little head/lacework. A nice summer beer

First, top marks to Unibroue for the large bottles! This pours with a rich golden colour, somewhat cloudy and with a very active head. Aroma is quite fruity, giving away the green apple, but still most pleasant. Taste was delicious, spicy and more of the apple. Delicious.

Smells wonderful, very strong green apple fragrance but surprisingly only a hint in the taste. Beautiful golden cloudy color, opaque through the glass, with a slightly off-white head that disappears rather fast. Bubbly and refreshing, quite tasty as I find all Unibroue beers so far.
