Unibroue Éphémère Cassis

I hauled this back from the summer gathering in Montreal and it’s been in my cellar since. Pours a clear reddish orange. with a tall, tight head that is short lived. Candied fruit aroma, some acidity. Nice fruity flavor that has both sweet and tart in a well balanced proportion. The delivery was spritzy and light.

750ml bottle, caged and corked. Poured a hazy medium orange color with a violet tint. The head was fizzy, white, and reduced in about a minute to a ring. Pleasant aroma of berries and some yeasty bread dough. Effervescent and light bodied. Lots of prickly bubbles up front. Tart on the tongue with delicate sweetness underneath. Nice controlled berry flavor on top of a pleasant wheaty base and a dash of spice. Good stuff.

Bottle. Pours pink-orange, almost coral, with a big white head with just a hint of a pinkish hue. Nose is very fruity - tart, sharp, slightly astringent - very much black currant, kind of soft-drink like. Taste is wheat malt with a definite astringent black currant tartness coming asserting itself as the primary element in the taste. Very clean, crisp dark-fruit tartness that complements the very subdued sweetness from both the fruit and the wheat. very effervescent carbonation and a light body, both work well with the taste. Very refreshing, well done.

pours cloudy orange with pinkish hints. thick white head. somewhat wheaty aroma with mild aromas of tart dark fruits. current flavors and that of a weiss beer dominate - crisp, slightly tart, refreshing. very crisp carbonation. another good ephemere but not my favorite.
