4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20Very nice Apple note in this one. Can taste a little coriander, some slight taste of the Curacao. Nice golden color, and carbonation. I’m starting to enjoy fruit beers so this is definitely a good one to start with.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft. Pours a hazy golden color with a heavy, but quickly disappearing white head. Aroma is quite pleasant, with mild yeast and heavy fruity sweetness. Apple is lightly apparent. Taste is mildly sour with some fruity sweetness. Yeast flavor lingers in finish. Body is light with a large amount of fizzy carbonation. Decent beer, but glad I was trying a friends and not drinking my own.

On le sent tout de suite, avec cette Éphémère aux pommes, Unibroue n’a fait aucun compromis et met le fruit en vedette, délaissant les céréales et les houblons en arrière-plan. Le moût de pommes est donc le pivot central de cette infusion trouble coiffée d’un grand chapeau de mousse blanche, et malgré ce focus sur le fruit défendu, ses défauts se trouvent ailleurs (effervescence trop importante, trop de sucre). Au final, il en résulte une impressionnante liqueur très savoureuse, mais bien balancée. Cette bière figure sans gêne parmi les meilleures concoctions aux fruits dans le monde.

Purcashed from MB for $6.99. To stemmed wine glass, it pours a hazy bright yellow. Trim off-whitish head 2 fingers which gradually sank to none. Aroma of apple cores, funk, sweat, and limes. Tastes the same. Decent for a hot summer day. Not too great for anything else...

Bottle from the six type variety mini case purchased at Giant Eagle in Pittsburgh. Very nice and quite unique. Loved every sip.

On draft. Pours a hazy light straw yellow color with a quickly receding white head. Aroma of mainly apples, some spices, and Belgian yeast. Taste is lots and lots of sweet apple, bready malts, and Belgian yeast and spices.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured at Thirsty Monk in Asheville. Granny smith taste was somewhat apparent but not overly so. The beer was refreshing, crisp, and tart, but not as much as expected.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
A - Pours a light golden color with champagne like carbonation. Has a cloudy haze. 1 finger of bright white head.
S - Apples, musty yeast, old coriander, some wet straw.
T - Watered down granny smith apples, faint spice, mildly tart, some orange and musty wheat comes out when warm. Finishes crisp and slightly tart.
M- Moderate carbonation, medium bodied.
The flavors were a bit thin. It’s champagne-like carbonation was welcomed and had some musty character to it. I liked the tap version better. Probably won’t buy again.
