Mar 21, 2009 Bottle: Why do brewers that know what they’re doing use green bottles? Damn that humulone... Pours an orange golden color with a dense off white head. Old smelling (bottle was past it’s prime) Lightly papery, soft honey notes, some herbal/vegetal character, odd phenols-corky, a bit dusty. Unique aroma. The body is nice and creamy with fluffy carbonation. Flavor is both sweet and chalky. The bottle is evidently old, as the flavor stages didn’t mesh well. In it’s lack of cohesiveness thee were early notes of honey which led to a bitter herbal character and some chalky notes. Like most Fantome it’s unique- but this bottle was past it’s prime. (Note to brewer: Don’t use green bottles!)

Mar 17, 2009 Thanks to Solan for this! NP10. Hazy orange pour, frothy white head that slowly settles to a fine film, and drippy lace. Barnyard aroma. Citric tartness combined with a dry horse blanket finish

Mar 10, 2009 750m bottle for $12. This is a murky dull orange. The aroma is really strange and reminds me of FFF Rabid Rabbit. The more I sniff at the glass, the more I think of grassy hops. The aroma on this is truly odd and very interesting. The flavor is also very odd. Immediate juicy citrus and some pucker at the end. The mouthfeel really reminds me of drinking a nice juice. There is a very off heavy spice that I cannot identify but it seems to permeate. I really didn’t think this was sour our tart but more funky and spicy. This is a complex beer that requires some attention, and its strong!

Mar 5, 2009 A dark orange hazed ale with a thick lacing off white head. A rather funky and bizarre aroma of epsom salts, sweet malt, coconut and barnyard. In mouth, just plain bad, coconut meets burned rubber, some coriander. Drainpour! Bieropholie import. Tasted with Probstk, May 26 2007.

Feb 1, 2009 750 mL bottle at Teresa’s. Poured hazy orange with next to no apparent carbonation. Some soap-like bubbles present on the surface. Flavor is sweet and yeasty with some lemony citrus undertones. Very forgettable.

Jan 18, 2009 Thanks to Dr. Bill for sharing at Woodshop Quad. It pours a nice orangish color and has a nice tangy flavor.

Jan 11, 2009 Dégusté avec french ticler le 18 mars 2007.
Drank in a tulip. Cloudy orange poor very muddy like with a very persistant beige head. Aromas of humidity, ashes, very acidic (green apples), old gym socks with an odd sweet rhubarb twist. That WOW factor when you taste it. Not sure about its category but it tastes and smells somewhat like a good lambic. Flavors are like very wet gym socks (dongt ask me why i know this), ashes and a nice sweet twist, somewhat like the aromas. This is very unique and quite an experince to drink!
