Label Reads: "L'Ephemere Pomme is made in honour of this great fruit. Its lively effervescence, fresh and refreshing taste as well as its Granny Smith apple nose combine to offer your a unique sensatory experience. It pairs extremely well with goat's milk cheeses, pork or duck. It has known such a success that you will now be able to appreciate its taste all year round".

Handwritten notes: a very unique flavour... I passed this bottle by at least five or six times in the liquor store thinking it looked like an instant hangover... not so... a sour apple taste immediately hits you, but it has a smoky, bubble-gum (cloves, for those less who are less of a Philistine), and lambic like taste... however, no taste of beer... makes me want to (and I will, retroactively) create a label for it that is "not quite beer".
