3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle; Pour is crazy sediment filled murky golden with a nice fine bubbled off white head in this glass - crazy because there’s obvious yeast floating around all over this one - but a shitload of darker colored sediment as well - i’ve never seen anything like it. I did have it sitting on it’s side for a bit while it was chilling. The nose is pretty typical fantome really - farmhouse, mild citrus, pepper.... the flavor profile is more light citrus notes, typical (to me) fantome yeasty farmhouse notes... more pepper...mildly tart... very nice beer overall

Shared this bottle at the recent Fantome mega-tasting. Served in a Fantome tulip. Reviewed from notes.
Pours a hazy yellow-golden color with a good white head and some light lacing on the way down. The nose brings earth, lemon, floral notes, and some rustic Fantome elements. The flavor is a good mix of lemon and light funk with a touch of malt. Light body with good carbonation and a dry finish. Another solid offering from Dany.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle from Etre. 2011 version.
Musty, tart, lil funk, citrus and pillow head that lasts forever. Really enjoyed this years. I could drink this one all the time. Dangerously drinkable, does not feel like an 8% beer at all.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle @ Freakin’ Frog. My first Fantome! YES! Light amber colour with a bolus of floculent yeast that appears at the end of the pour. Big, airy merangue of a head. Aroma is herbal and woody, sour undertones. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel and low carbonation, with the same herbal woody flavours present in the aroma, lemony tartness, a little spicy, and a little funky with some musty yeast. Pretty cool.

750ml bottle from Julio’s. Bought a year ago.
Appearance : Clear light amber with big foamy white head. Light lacing. infinite head retention.
Aroma : Typical Fantome nose. Yeasty and funky with light spices. Rather fruity. Notes of Jolly Ranchers™ candies. Light tartness.
Taste : Yeast and spices, slightly dusty, rather dry. Light mineral notes, not as fruity as nose. Light tartness.
Palate : Fizzy carbonation.
Overall : Typical Fantome profile. Nice funk, nice dust. Nice look. Nice light tartness. Still pretty unusual and weird but rather good.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a straw color with fizzy white head. Aroma of tart apples, lemons, light funk, and bananas. Taste is similar to the aroma but not as pungent. Pretty good but not my favorite Fantome.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
2010 bottle, huge citurs aroma, very clean and fresh, tons of flowers and spices in the background. Flavor is very lemony and interesting. Spices and lemon dominate. Very peculiar.

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2012 Updating from draft version @ Fantôme on 07/01/2012. Couleur dorée/orangée fine opacité avec un beau col blanc.
Ce qui démarque cette version pression de la bouteille est le bouquet et palais incroyable et frais de mandarine qui est original pour une bière de saison. Je tenais juste à ajouter comme la mandarine et les agrumes donnent à cette bière une tournure en bouche qui est superbe. Le tout sur un profile sucré/doux et un léger houblon.
15cl bottle sample @ Kerstbierfestival ’11, Essen.
Encore une bière Fantôme qui impressionne. De un l’idée de bière festive aux notes foncées donnent ici une bière à la robe dorée, col blacn épais.
Arôme est très fruité allant vers le pamplemousse frais, écorce d’orange et une pointe de sucre candi et levure qui reste dans la signature de Fantôme.
En bouche, bière douce, notes d’agrumes; pamplemousse, pointe d’épice presque gingembre et coriandre avec pelure d’orange. Houblon est en retrait et laisse une amertume légère.
