Unibroue Éphémère Cassis

pour is cloudy yellow-orange very large head, okay lacing. smell is fruity, bread, granny smith apple. taste is like a seltzer water flavored with apple, bit of yeast, ends a little on the dry side. overall it is good, i was expecting more apple.

Light amber in color with a thick white head. Nice current flavor and very balanced.

750ml bottle: This one pours slightly hazy with a slightly pink-hued golden body. There was also a large head that also had a pinkish tinge to it. The head doesn’t last long, or leave any lacing. Subdued aroma of black currants. Mild taste of black currants with a medium-light wheat body. Slight tartness, not sweet. The taste is light and refreshing. Nice.

750 ml bottle from Bottle Barn, Santa Rosa. Hazy pink with a fizzy white head. Currant aroma. Tangy palate with a sweet black berry/currant taste.

750 ml bottle. light transparent gold with rosey hue with a foamy white head. distinct currant aroma. strong but not overpowering carbonation. a blend of currant and raspberry flavors over a light yeast. overall very crisp. similar to the apple, the fruit flavors are not overpowering and are well balanced with the wheat base. i think i prefer the tartness of the apple a bit more but that’s just personal preference. these ephemeres are top notch fruit beers that’s for sure.

The Dan Journal #32. Tasted 9/3/2006. 750ml bottle. Hazy and deep golden with apricot highlights. Nice bright white head. Citrusy and yeasty fruity nose. Notes of cranberries and black currants. Touch grapey. Mild and light, but super lively and tangy. Light wheat malts initially, then sugary grainy sticky, then the tart hits. And thats what lingers. Not my favorite fruit flavor.

Pours amber red, no head. Aroma is very intense with the fruit and sourness coming through bigtime. Then I take a sip and say what the fuck happened to the fruit in this beer.The currants are faint but they are barely there and It has no sourness the fruit is damn faint and this beer is so damn dry that it’s just not enjoyable. No fruitiness, no sourness, in a fruit beer? get the fuck out.
