Unibroue's Ephemere Apple is a witbier beer brewed with apple must, coriander, and curacao peels.
The ABV is 5.5% and the beer hails from Canada.
Review:
This beer pours a hazy straw color and carries a thick, tall white head. The aroma is dominated by apples and bubblegum from the apple must and the yeast respectively. The taste has elements of spicy coriander that dance around, and sour apples on the edges of your tongue. The high carbonation and unfiltered beer combine to produce a creamy mouthfeel while still retaining a nice snappy finish. For the most part, this beer just tastes like somebody put some apple juice in my Belgian witbier.
(Side Note: According to Ratebeer and Beer Advocate, there are multiple versions of Ephemere with different fruit flavors.)
This is the first fruit beer I've rated. The reason I've waited this long is because I generally don't seek out fruit beers. I like beer, and I like fermented fruit drinks, but a fermented fruit/beer drink is is a rare commodity in my fridge.
However, for what this beer is attempting to be, it is a success.
Barrel man says,
"pinky up" drink.
