Jan 2, 2009 Bottle, 8%. Citric aroma, slightly rough, might be infected. Muddy brown colour. Tan head, slightly fizzy. The flavour is citric, funky and bretty. Quite malty. With Fantome, I always wonder if it is infected. At least it is drinkable.

Dec 12, 2008 Pour is a hazy gold with an average white head. Aroma is super spiced with some yeast and pepper. Flavor is bitter citrus fruit up front then some more pepper and spice follow up. Finish is very herbal and earthy. Its a pretty darn good beer and it actually gets better in all categories the more you have of it.

Dec 8, 2008 750 ml bottle. A cloudy and muddy medium amber beer with a very big, persistent and lacing beige head. The aroma is heavily spiced, and with pear notes, and also with a good maltiness and a present hoppiness. Obviously funky and easty. The flavour has a medium sweetness and a balanced but present acidity. Again very spiced and fruity. Some strawberry yogurt notes. Medium body, lively carbonation, medium/long finish with medium bitterness. Not infected. The alcohol is almost totally hidden, as always from Fantome. Fantastic appearence and well blended ingredients. Very good.

Dec 1, 2008 Bottle@Home. Strong medicinal aroma. Exploding bottle, very murky, chunks floating around, orange/brown color, huge beige irregular head, fair lace. Very medicinal in flavor as well (leukoplast?), sweetish, light bitter, some grass/herbs notes, leather maybe. I think I’m giving up on Fantome. Another bad bottle!

Nov 17, 2008 Poured a hazy amber orange colour.
Caramel, green apple and earthy yeasty tones in the aroma. Light peppery spice as well.
Brief sweet caramel maltiness then funky sock and sour apple, grassy bitterness in the finish. Improves as you imbibe.
I was really enjoying this one by the end.

Oct 21, 2008 another great fantome beer. Pours cloudy peach/orange, thick head, nice lacing. Aroma of fruit, some spice, and funk/mustiness. Flavor is delicate, some alcohol, fruitiness but muted. Smooth drinking. Good but not as good as their regular saison in my opinion.
