Unibroue - Ephemere Black Currant White Ale

As John Cleese would say, "And now for something completely different."

I must admit that I am an out of the closet fruit beer fan. The second beer that I ever brewed was a peach cream ale. It turned out all right, but probably could have used different hops.

A white ale is a pretty good canvas for a fruit beer. White ales are typically subtile in flavor, so when you fruit them, the fruit flavor and color dominate.

I didn't know what to expect from this beer and I'm not sure what I think about it. The color is a pinkish red. The color does not extend to the white head.
