4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
750 ml bottle. A hazy dark golden beer with an average sized, creamy and mostly lasting white head. Clean and rather fresh aroma, balanced, moderetaly yeasty and malty, lightly to moderately hoppy. There are notes of toasted grains, flowers, herbs, grass, spices (pepper) and fruits (lemon, orange and maybe strawberry). Complex aroma. The flavour is moderately sweet, lightly to modrately acidic, lightly bitter. Again a good balance and perhaps sweeter than other Fantomes and less extravagant, but with its character. Medium body (but stronger than the average Fantome), lively carbonation, dry long finish with medium bitterness. Similar to the classic Fantome, wonderful.

4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Belgium. Super floral, tart, tomato and white pepper aroma, with subtle notes of oregano, clementine. Typical out of control Fantome complexity that seems to mix with no hesitation sourness, florals, herbals, and fresh fruit of every exotic variety imaginable. I love it. The mouthfeel is bright and bready, with a funky, fruity, full-bodied and lovely yeast. Pear and grass hit in the finish with fleeting notes of earthy mushrooms. Whoa.
