Unibroue Éphémère aka Granny Smith Apple Beer

It's simple. I like apples. I like beer. Combine the two and it becomes Ephemere. Maybe it's not such s a good idea.

Unibroue uses chambly fundamentally in several beers, much like George Lucas used Star Wars IV-VI as a platform to launch episodes I-III. Now, some good things happen. Noire de Chambly. Yoda flying around kicking tail. Natalie Portman is beautiful (my intern just asked me if that was necessarily relevant and I stabbed his arm with my letter opener). Some aspects that are extensions of the original are the opposite of, let's say, good. For example Jar-Jar Binks, I wish you never existed.

Here the perfectly Canadian folks at Unibroue decided to mix their delicious white ale with a green apple flavor, and it's just too much. Every sip was followed by a frown. The only thing I can say after drinking this is, congratulations on your beer being as good as TRANSFORMERS 2.

Unibroue Éphémère is not delicious.

Sucks to go from the Allagash Tripel delight to this, but I guess that's the deal.

Walker got a 4-pack of Unibroue and we picked the Éphémère first. I think they put this in a 4-pack because they couldn't sell it individually. They put apple juice in this thing and it really shows up, not like a cider, more like a gross beer. If this beer were a lady, it'd be Drew Barrymore, and I think Drew sucks.
