Taste is creamy and a little thick, with some vanilla. Yet another solid Fantome offering. No. 51. Silphium (2117), Haslett, Michigan, USA Nov 5, 2006 A change of pace for Fantome, this hazy orange-bodied saison emphasizes the bitter end of the potpourri spectrum, with a well-developed blend of perfumey flower petals, and even hints of cinnamon. As in most of the brewer’s saisons, I pick up characteristics of yarrow and caraway. Very nice. badnewsbeers (1026), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Nov 3, 2006 amber body with large, beige head..nose of belgium yeast, bready and biscuity, as well as a zesty citrus element...flavor is very different than its aroma: very woody and spicey, herbal, bready, grainy, and has some sort of vitamin/mineral finish..smooth palate fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Oct 29, 2006 750 ML bottle.
