Unibroue Éphémère Apple

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

12oz botella from a summer sampler. This was my first apple beer. it had a cloudy apperance with a nice white head, lots of apple and coriander smell. taste of apples and bananas, kinda of a apple wheat beer. lots of tiny bubbles

Bottle - pours a cloud straw color with a decent white head. This beer is very reminiscent of a wine cooler - strong apple aroma with lots of carbonation. Taste is tart apple, hints of champagne, and yeast. Regardless, this a fairly tasty beer - just not one I could drink many of - actually probably not more than one in a sitting.

Enticing Green apples and gumball. Vigorously effervescent hazy champagne-colored brew, voluminous white head, chunky white sediment. Green apples at the front, followed by citrus, coriander, very faint hops. My first few sips finished unpleasantly chalky, but the increasing yeast content towards the bottom of the glass rounded the finish out well. Mouthfeel: Highly carbonated and dry, continuously puckering.

Bottle @ Elephant and Castle. Slightly cloudy yellow pour, quite pale with a weak white head, little retention. Thin carbonation. Aroma is sweet apples, yeast. Taste is very apply, mild yeast and grainy flavours. Cold, sweet, and very refreshing.

Poured a barely hazy golden color with a short white head and minimal flecks of lacing. The initial aroma is honest to goodness apple. Not artificial smelling at all. Their was the standard Unibroue yeast strain in there along with the apple. The flavor was of a sort of cheap pale lager with some spices and apple. When it was cold it was entertaining, as it warmed it started to become a mess. Would drink again, just hope I remember to keep it cold and drink it quick. Thin, unremarkable mouthfeel.

Nice apple aroma, otherwise clean and sweet smell. Taste is subtle apple, a bit of sweetness, not overly so, and lightly toasted malt. Hard to detect the coriander and curacao. Finish is crisp and refreshing. Great envigorating beer, and you can’t beat the price. $5.50 at an expensive bar that was getting $9 for a rochefort.

Pours a hazy peach with a big white frothy head. Aroma is rife with apple, Unibroue’s distinctive yeast, wheat malt, and a bit of light spice. There is also a strange aroma of crayon or candle wax. Flavor is extremely bubbly and crisp, almost has aspects of a kristallweizen. The granny smith apple quality certainly stays with the flavor, and many of the other aspects of the aroma linger as well. The initial taste of the flavor isn’t particularly pleasant, but as it goes further the tasty apple becomes more pronounced, and it holds quite a decent crisp dry finish. Certainly not my style, but a decent brew.

Foggy orange. Very clouded. Aroma has me all kinds of messed up. Smell from the table to my nose was pure green apple. When I put my nose in the glass, it changes completely! Reminds me of 2nd grade art class. When the scents of chemicals, paint and apples that rested upon Mrs. Kolfer’s desk combined and reached my nose, it formed this aroma. Taste is poor compared to the aroma. Dry and sour nasty. Finish is all Italian seasoning. Gross.
