Commercial Description:
With joy and a little bit of mischief, Fantôme brewer Dany Prignon dedicates this very bitter beer to all of the many varieties of brise-bonbons - literally, ball-breakers - in the world. Specifically, this beer is meant for wise-guys, braggarts, pains-in-the-ass, muck-rakers, troublemakers, know-it-alls, stuffed-shirts, blow-hards and bores, as well as nut-cracking, wind-bag, prattling-on, self-appointed experts on everything, and nose-in-the-air snobs, convinced they can do anything better than you. Dany intended to make a beer too bitter for a normal person to enjoy. The problem is, everyone loves it! Guess we're all just a bunch of brise-bonbons sometimes...

Bottle thanks to Bhops. Orange yellow color with no head. Nose is pineapple and tropical fruit. Taste is sour and fruity with yeast. Carbonation is low but that is to be expected because the bottle was actually cracked. Actually pretty good.

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.

Rating #1001 the first from my iPhone. bottle. Pours an orange amber body with an exploding head. Sweet funky yeast wet paper cardboard and lemon funk. Tart plum and raisin. Dusty and oxidized.

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

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.

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.

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.
