Éphémère (Cassis / Black Currant)
I had this on tap in Victoria BC and thought it was just skunked or something.... so I tried it again in a bottle to no avail. The review is based of the bottled version. A: pours a pink grapefruit color. Head is similar to that of coca-cola or any other heavily carbonated beverage. Leaves no lacing. S: berry.if I didnt know what this was I wouldnt ever guess it was a beer. T: ..not much. Carbonation overpowers what little berry flavor there is to it. Alcohol is unnoticeable. I dont usually hate on any beer, but this reminds me of fizzy sugar water. Somewhat of a bitter finish. MF: thin.waterlike, heavy carbonation. O: pretty terrible beer really. I would not even call it beer myself. It seems more like a fizzy wine cooler, but with less taste than a wine cooler. Too bad, I was really excited for this one.
