750ml Bottle: Very strange aroma. Smells like Armenian string cheese. Poured amber/orange/copper in color with a small tan head that diminished quickly. Opaque. Odd spiced flavor. Tastes like tomato sauce with lots of oregano and basil. Medium body. Average texture. Soft carbonation. Dry finish. WTF is this???

Pours a murky golden color with lots of sediment and 1 finger of very fluffy white head. Aroma of funk, grass, lemon and hint of clove and wheat. Flavor is funk, lemon, sourness, wheat, spices. Very nice brew.

[Bottle] shared by JK. Pours a murky brown with a smallish tan head. Aroma is a little weak. Typical Fantome spices, but pretty hard to place. Very earthy aroma. Flavor follows, and is a little thin and watery for my taste.

Sampled at the BA Alesmith release. Aromas were a tiny bit sour. Flavors of clove and some orange peel. Good.

Sampled at the Alesmith BA Release line tasting. Aromas of fruit and spice. Flavors were more of the same with the spices really coming through more than the bright fruits that were evident in the aromas. Nice finish without a lot of alcohol flavor. Good stuff.
