Unibroue Éphémère Cassis

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

Tap at Volo. Nice fruity aroma, very beautiful beer. A pinkish red with a medium head. Great and refreshing on a very hot and humid day! Smooth but nothing special palate. Flavour was good, while evidently fruity, was not sweet. Very acidic, which I liked.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur rouge et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées aux notes sûres (cassis, notes de framboises et de pommes vertes, trace de raisins bleus), léger d’épices (clou de girofle, poivre doux) et de pain avec des petites notes de caramel. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse et aux notes sirupeuses fruitées. Goût de levures fruitées aux petites notes aigres (cassis, léger de pommes, notes de framboises et de raisins, traces d’agrumes) accompsgné d’un très léger goût épicé (clou de girofle, notes de coriandre) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de pain avec des petites notes maltées de caramel et de blé puis en finale l’on retrouve un regain de goût de sirop de cassis aux notes sûres et légèrement asséchant ainsi que des notes de houblon herbeux et d’épices (traces de poivre). Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement aigre de fruits (cassis, pelures de pommes).

[2256-20090606] Bottle. Strong fruit aroma, what must be black currant. Hazy, bright dark red body with a long-lasting foamy white head. More black currant fruit flavour. Medium body. Fruity, fairly drinkable but lots of black currant.

Draught at Volo. This is ruby amber red in a Unibroue goblet with a solid pink white head. The aroma is yeasty with wild berries, pepper, bread. Medium bodied. The flavour has plenty of berry: currant, black berry, strawberry, with some pleasant tartness. Great on a warm summer day in Toronto.

Pours a pale pink with a good white head. Strong sweet aromas of black currant jam. Tastes of black currants with faint yeast notes, not overly sweet but has a crisp finish. An above average fruit beer.

C&C 750 mL bottle courtesy of. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy pinkish orange color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of currants, strawberries, spice and a wine like astringent note. Taste is bready with a light fruit note, including grape, berry and faint cassis in the finish. Light caramel as well. Medium bodied.

Pours pink like rhubarb With a light pink head. Aroma is sour and yeasty. Black currant dominates the palate, slightly sour accented by that classic unibroue yeast. Pretrty good for a fruit beer.

Bottle. Pours hazy rhubarb-pie pink, with a soft pretty pink head, spotty lacing. Nose is tart/sour cassis, with the usual Unibroue yeast. Palate is cassis, yeast, and a suggestion of hops in the finish. Very fine champagne-like carbonation throughout. Pretty and unique, but not terribly complex.
