I tried the Ephemere from Unibroue last night. It is a wonderful light Ale-on-Lees in the tradition of Unibroue's signature ales. It had a definite hint of Apple, but it did not overpower the crisp and spicy flavor of the ale. Overall, it went down smooth... making me thankful that this champagne-corked 750ml bottle of ale only clocked in at 5.5% alcohol content. Any stronger and I would have felt it, because I'd quaffed the whole bottle before I even knew it.
The aftertaste was pleasant and didn't linger overlong. I enjoyed it with some gourmet salami and a Hop-crusted Hautefort that I picked up from the new grocer Enoteca Italiana, in Kittery Maine. It's a bit out of the way, but worth it.
