»Éphémère

This tart, fruity beer comes from the wizards at Unibroue. I first had it from a small bottle a few months ago, at the delicious Point Brugge café in Pittsburgh; through a friend's forgetfulness (about to board an airplane, could not take these delicious beers with him, many regrets, will you please do the honors) I came into possession of this large bottle as well as several others.

Served cool, the slightly cloudy beer has a great deal of carbonation; this bubbliness suits the fruit flavours of berries and apple, but sets off the beer itself in an odd way. The head is thick and creamy, and the carbonation plays no small part in this. The sourness of the fruit and the bright spices (cinnamon and nutmeg) do not quite match the mild taste of the beer, and although a glass-ful of this is delicious I am not sure I enjoyed the whole 750mL bottle.
