Jan 7, 2010 Bottle from a trade with Boutip. The cork was wet on top and completely shredded when I was trying to pull it out. Pours slightly hazy light orange color with huge white head. Funky sour aroma. Very dry, musty flavor. Not funky or sour at all. Earthy. Very different from any Fantome I have had before. Medium body with average carbonation. Thanks Phil.

Dec 25, 2009 Slightly funky straw-like aroma. Must have an older bottle, as this is not very bitter at all. It is rather tart and quite drinkable, though. Flavor reminds me uncannily of a Arnold Palmer - a blend of lemonade and iced tea.

Dec 25, 2009 From an undated 750ml bottle. Aromas of citrus, pine, and a little bit of horseblanket. Flavors of lemon, sour grapes, and some peat with a sour finish. The hops have faded quite a bit but it is still quite nice. A very interested beer that reminds me more of a sour ale than a saison.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottle, 75cl. It’s a hazy, orange beer with a minimal-sized white head. Berries, citrus and hints of cellar on the nose. The flavor has a sour, acidic fruityness, and a touch of berries and flower. Medium body with some astringency and quite a lot of carbonation. A quite nice beer, but a bit odd for my likings. 090822.
