Jun 16, 2007 Cloudy yellow color with no head. Very musty hay aroma, almost skunked. Strong wheat and spice flavor with a raging yeasty finish. At times I would think this was past its prime and skunked, others it seemed like a great Saison.

Jun 15, 2007 Bottled sample via Boutip. Golden in colour with strong carbonation. Aromas of herbs, trees, Belgian funk, and lemons. Very woody and tannic in the mouth. Secondary notes of spice (especially black pepper), citrus fruits, and dried leaves. Super dry and quite bitter. A tad unbalanced, even by Fantome standards.

Jun 13, 2007 Courtesy of Blake at DL day 06’. Golden, somewhat hazy, white head fades to film rather quickly. Aroma is all over the place. Huge floral up front, lemon tart, grass, slight euro-skunk background. Flavor very yeasty, dominated by the same floral and grass character as aroma. Slight skunk in the finish. Finishes very dry.

Jun 8, 2007 Bottle from D’s. Apparently the first Fantome beer I’ve thought worthy of rating. Hazy golden body with nice foamy white head. Aroma of bananas, cloves, lemon zest and spices. Despite the description I didn’t find it all that bitter. Flavor was similar to the aroma but a bit stronger on the spiciness and some bitterness in the finish.

Jun 3, 2007 Pours a hazy golden color with a white head. Aroma is of citrus, lemon, yeast, and spices. Flavor starts off with the citrus, lemon, and sweet malts that finishes with the yeast and spices and a little bit of bitterness on the finish, especially for a belgian brew. A complex brew that I would hope to enjoy again.

May 29, 2007 Bottle. Pours a deep hazy orange body with huge head, forms a similar look to houblon. Complex Aroma! Peppery, grassy, light melon, funk, spices, herby, floral like tones and light citrus.
Flavor is slightly sweet, light lemon and orange taste, peppery spices, cucumber, yeasty.
Damn good! Very enjoyable. Probably the most complex beer I’ve had in awhile.

May 27, 2007 0,75 l bottle shared with Lubiere (merci!), served cool in a goblet. MA26/07.
App.: Very cloudy orange-amber, small orange-white head with orange flecks, lots of white yeast flakes in the beer.
Aroma: Barnyard, lemons, sourness, bitter green herbs, flowery-perfume, rubber (oh boy).
Palate: Medium body and carbonation, some effervescence.
Flav.: Good LORD. Rubber, some light coconut and apple, pepper and musty-dust on swallowing; fairly bracing bitterness and light tartness.
Consider my balls broken. This was a drain pour.

May 27, 2007 Tried this on tap at Apoteke in Portland. $10 a glass and worth every penny. Nose of a smelly armpit mixed with fresh dog shit. Pungent, sour and floral notes with odd spiciness. Peppery and scrumptious. Poured a golden and slightly orange hue. Welcoming boisterous head. I am really glad I got to sip on this ballbreaker!
