Nov 2, 2008 A Mes rate: bottle at the Harry vs Wolfman fist fight.
Pale gold with a thin white head and lots of lace. Tart fruity aroma with some nice hops in the background. The hops come right to the front in the flavour and are bloody lovely. Excellent spicy notes that sit just right on the palate. It’s almost a chili like hit. Dry as fuck, awesome sourness, Ian is SPOT on about the Robinson’s Barley Water. Very drinkable. Very interesting. Excellent stuff.

Oct 20, 2008 Bottle at the Angry Fist of Santa tasting at Chris o’s. Robinson’s Lmeon Barley Water. Nice creamy in mouth, then more lemon barley water on the finish. One of the better Fantomes, creamier in the mouth than I expected. Good swallow and mouthfeel

Oct 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours a medium amber color. Gigantic white head fades slowly, chunky lacing. Aroma is dry, funky and full of barnyard. Medium bodied, lifting and drying carbonation. Tasty beer. Blending aspects of funky Fantome and APA/IPA. Drying and astringent.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle @ Chris o’s Pre-Beer Exposed Tasting, September 2008.
Pours a pretty, clear golden with a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma has brett, good oranges, yeast and light tartness. Super nice creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has lots of bretty character, light apples and oranges. Nice.

Sep 29, 2008 Thanks to cmillward for the taste. Poured a golden yellow, but with an orange tint with just a little head that leaves a nice sticky lacing. Smells of some malts, with some grapes, a little orange and Fantome funk. A little more bitter than sour, with a lot of citrus notes and, as always, a nice bit of funk.

Sep 26, 2008 Bottle, courtesy of boboski. Pours a hazy golden/amber with a fuzzy smallish white head, leaves tons of streaks of lacing down the glass. On the nose, there is apples, some toasty malt, spicy/earthy hops, that minty Fantome funk. Flavor has some apples, a nice underlying earthy bitterness, funky and slightly tart, a bit dusty and spicy. Nicely dry, nice bitter crisp finish, lush carbonation, just a gorgeous finish to wonderful glass. Probably from the age on this bottle, the hops aren’t over-the-top in the aroma, but the solid drying bitterness plus the lush carb from the brett really round this beer out nicely.
