Hopgeek (101), San Diego, California, USA Mar 31, 2005 I don’t have too much to say about this beer other than it stood out at the Pizza Port 12 Hour Beglian Beer Party.
Appearance is rather dark amber with tons of head. Smell... well, this is familiar and unusual... it smells exactly like brew day, any homebrewer would recognize this. Flavor is as worty as possible, I have never tasted anything that has gone through fermentation that tastes like this beer. This is really odd and interesting, its medium bodied and clings a bit to the palate. Not entirely sure how drinkable it is cause I had way too many samples prior to this one. Give it a whirl, especially if you brew! Hildigöltur (5109), København, Denmark Feb 1, 2005 Cloudy orange coloured. Spicy and slightly sourish aroma. It is a little bit orvalish. Spicy, fruity and yeasty flavour with some sourness. maupie (593), Roosendaal, Netherlands Dec 18, 2004 This beer has an amber body - hue apperance and a coarse white scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had no carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is little acid with a bitter afther tast.
Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA Nov 26, 2004 Updated: Sep 25, 2007Bottle. Cloudy tangerine color with a gigantic head. Aroma is dusty with some dried citrus fruits. Taste is subdued. Starts somewhat tart of lemon and hops and then mellows out with malts and leather. Really smooth, as I drank the whole damn bottle. JCW (1262), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Sep 5, 2004 Okay, this doesn’t look classic, it is honey colored, murky with a white head that rims the glass. Aroma is vinous, yeasty, horseblanket(funky), and slightly sweet. Flavor is fairly tart and vinious. Usually many of the Fantome’s are spicey this wasn’t.but it may have a lillte pepper. Finish is sweet and sour, you pick them. dingo (37), USA Aug 29, 2004 This was a tasty beer that gave me some problems. My problems were all foam related. The head rose fast and kept on flowing until it was all over the table. Glass number two seemed to go pretty much the same way. It was a nice dark haze in the glass that tasted sweet and finished with a bit of hop to it. The smell was very sweet and sugary. JPDIPSO (4865), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Aug 17, 2004 Very muddy golden/amber. Tall fluffy white head. Aroma is gentle but with a lot of components. Mild fresh bread mixed with an acidic cobweb, topped with bananas, wheat and spice. Wheat sweetness start that leads to mild spice and earthy hops. Sometimes one can be underwhelmed with a brew that is so easy to drink and well put together. lilannie (383), State College, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 15, 2004 Aroma: sweet aromatic honey, hay/straw, some mint/other herbs, and some grape flavoring
Appearance: honeysuckle yellow, off-white creamy head, lacing
Flavor: sweet and sour flavoring of spice, slight honey, pumpkin spice
Palate: smooth, sweet and remarkably light for a Fantome-->no Fantome funk that most have
