Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Unibroue Éphémère White Ale
Brewed With Apple Juice, Coriander, Orange Peel And With Natural Flavor Added.
From the Unibroue website: “As its name
suggests, Éphémère is an ephemeral ale that comes and goes with the seasons. It
was developed as a series to feature a seasonal fruit in a refreshing, lightly
spiced white ale. The label depicts a fairy, an ephemeral spirit associated
with fruits picked at the peak of ripeness during each harvest season. She
first appeared in the spring of 2001 and has since been celebrated on a variety
of seasonal fruit ales featuring apple, cranberry, blackcurrant, peach, and
raspberry. The apple version, first created in 2002, is without a doubt the
most popular version. It is the only one to be distributed year-round and sold
in the United States.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a slightly golden straw color with a large white head and good lacing.
Aroma: Apples –
Granny Smith and perhaps some Honeycrisp, Belgian yeast, some Candi sugar and a
touch of wheat, clove and malt.
Taste: Apple
flavor is upfront, but not overwhelming, sour, cidery and a little sweet,
Belgian yeast, banana, clove, wheat and pale malts.
Overall: Refreshing
and light, Unibroue Éphémère White Ale is tasty. This 5.5% ABV offering is another excellent
beer from Unibroue. Worth a try for fans
of fruit beers.
Cheers!
