Begrudgingly, we admit we are not the authority on all things "beer," but we know our fair share. Enjoy the good brew with us; correct us where we're wrong.

Actually, this is the sort of thing I hope people ask. The reason, or so it seems, is that the term Pomme (at least on beer) has been mostly used to designate an apple lambic. This particular beer doesn't fall within in that category of distinction. However, one can look at something like, Ephemere by Unibroue and find that it is called a Pomme by some people while not being a lambic. So, I guess that marketing plays a role. Companies appear to ask the question, "should I use French or English on the label?" If I spoke French, it might have been natural to call this beer a pomme. However, I tend to follow the marketed name and the idea that most pommes I've seen are lambics. I hope this helps. Great question, Ken. Actually, this is the sort of thing I hope people ask.
