Unibroue Éphémère Cassis

Another disappointment. I like cassis flavor but this held little. Reddish amber with a small but creamy white head, the aroma was slightly black current but faint. Sweet/tart flavor was unappealing.

This was a fairly phrentic beer, as it was all over the place. The aroma was a sugary sweet, fruitiness akin to a underripe raspberry. Apperance was a pinkish color with a huge head. Mouthfeel was very harsh which is unlike Unibrou. Flavor was sweet, nothing offensive. Overall nothing horrible, nothing fantastic. I didn’ve love or hate it. I wouldn’t buy it again because there are better fruit beers available with a fruit I enjoy.

750ml bottle purchased at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville for $5.75. My favorite tulip glass will hold this one. Pours a very pretty peachy amber with a large pinkish head. Heavy bitter berry in the nose with a hint of greens and dirt. Bitter all the way down. Lots of currant flavor, not the slightest bit sweet, with kind of a thin, watery finish, which brings the experience down slightly. Good stuff overall.

Pours a cloudy, reddish/pinkish color. Moderate head. Lots of currants in both aroma and taste, but also a presence of floral-like qualities and artificialness.

Pours reddish, with a good fruity blackberry smell, huge white fluffy head, good blackberry flavor and sweetness. good aroma of sweetness and black berries also.

(Bottle 75 cl) Slightly hazy reddish amber with a creamy, white head. Very fresh aroma of black currant. Rather light body, dry, lightly tart fruit. Discreet and downplayed fruitiness - exactly how a fruit beer is supposed to be. Quite refreshing. Thanks to Degarth for sharing. 030406

Aroma recalls dirty cotton linens and musty fruits. Orange/amber in color with a quickly diminishing white head. Mild wheat malt flavors in the fore followed by the currants. Mild carbonation and a soft overall feel make it feel a bit stale, but it has moments of solid flavor and good mouthfeel before it finishes thin and watery.

Pours a hazy pinkish orange with slight pinkish head. The aroma is of currants and the flavor is dominated by currrants. The beer has an astringint quality and finish.
