Unibroue Éphémère Apple

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

Pours a cloudy yellow color with a small, white head. Aroma is predominantly apple with slight spice notes added. Taste is smooth and an interesting mixture of apples, spices, and carbonation. This is a very solid, interesting beer, though again not one of my favorites from Unibroue.

My first Unibroue beer. Huge wave of sour green apples hits my nose after a clean blonde pour. I get a hint of citrus to go with the apple as I drink it, with a sour bite. Mouthfeel is quite unique; spicy, gold-like, carbonated, sweet....hard to describe accurately. Haven’t had a beer quite like this before, must admit. Will seek out more from Unibroue for sure.

Great smell of granny smith apples is the first thing you get. The flavor has a touch of apples with a bit of sourness. An excellent beer from one of my favorite breweries.

75 cl bottle, Fargo. Hazy yellow colour, mixture of apple, orange and raspberry aroma. Very smooth, fruity lingering, quite nice.

Bubble pale yellow color and a really intense apple aroma. Flavor doesn’t live up to the aroma, however, as the apple is only vaguely present behind a generic soury fruity sweetness. Mouthfeel is quite odd - a bit like an apple-flavored soda. Unlike anything I’ve ever tried before but I don’t know that I’d try it again (at least not the apple).

Cloudy yellow color. Smell of yeast, apples, flowers, vinergar, sour fruit and a hint of pineapple. Tastes the same but the apples dominate the whole beer. Also some wheat comes in. Very light but I am going to have this again.

Pours hazy yellow with a huge white head. Granny Smith abounds in the nose, like a cider. Light, bubbly mouthfeel. Tart apples and spice throughout, with some pear flavors. Lots of fruit, not much beer, but good.

Unibroue’s weakest offering, in my opinion. Not much apple to it. Watery consistency, light yellow color, almost no head. Reminded me of a watery, boozy juice Schorle.
