Before we go any further, the Unibroue website is one of the most awesome brewery webpages I have ever seen. They provide so much information for each beer - the legend behind the name, what food to pair it with, suggested temperature and glassware, medals won, how to properly age it. It's amazing. Definitely worth checking out.
The name translates to "ephemeral," which means lasting for a short time or transitory. Fittingly, this is a seasonal ale brewed with Granny Smith apples. The image of the fairy on the label is quite beautiful. The ingredients include apple juice, coriander, and curacao peels, among other flavors. It is "a refreshing summer delight in every sip." It began being brewed in 2002 and is 5.5% ABV.
Overall average rating: 6.7/10
The beer pours a cloudy yellow, almost dirty blonde colored. The aroma gives off citrus and wheat scents, as well as apples and honey. There is a fruity taste with hints of honey and wheat, and it bites the back of the tongue.
Shawn- I get a little plantain taste at the end, but this is refreshing and would be good on a hot day. It is almost like a lambic/hefeweizen blend, if Germany made lambics, 7/10.
Angela- This has a lot of different flavors, and it is definitely a refreshing summertime beer, but it is not something I could drink all of the time, 6/10.
Chris- I find this beer to be constantly developing - at the firs sip, I tasted 2-3 flavors, but the more I taste it, the more complex the flavors become, 7/10.
Great brewery. I think I've had a lambic from there.
