unibroue éphémère cranberry
it’s been a while since I was able to score a bottle of unibroue’s éphémère cranberry.
- however, they have a stash over at handy deli that no one seems to be picking up. more for me!
- you see their apple version of this brew all over the place, which is pretty tasty in its own right. they also have a black currant variation.
- however, the cranberry is my favorite – it has a very clean wheat back with a hint of cranberry on the nose and, as usual, fantastic carbonation that ties it all together. beeradvocate dorks complain about its sweetness, but it wasn’t noticeably sweet to me.
- I’m not even a big fan of wheat beers, but I would bring this to any outdoor summer event in a heartbeat. it would also be a great option for introducing a lady friend to the great world of craft beer.
- I can see this beer being a big hit by adding straight cranberry juice to secondary in a straight wheat and carbing it up nice and heavy for a tart, crisp result. time to get brewing…

this looks just like Fin du Monde, one of my favorite beers, in the bottling and labeling. Same brewery?
