75cl bottle, bought at the local butcher shop for the Pietrain Association. Couleur foin, blonde/dorée, col blanc épais. Arôme est impressionnant, on y note ce côté très Fantôme mais avec ce rappel en clin d’œil aux porcs, peut être ce bouquet de malt légèrement fumé avec ce houblon très fruité; pamplemousse voire mandarine. En bouche, profile typique Fantôme, et je retrouve ce malt fumé, léger avec ce houblon fruité mi épicé qui vient s’ajouter à la levure.

14/IV/2012 - 75cl bottle @ home - BB: not indicated on bottle, but according to sebletitje a freshly brewed batch (2012-365) Thanks to sebletitje for sharing the bottle!

Cloudy yellow to orange beer, big off-white head, pretty stable and adhesive. Aroma: very spicy, grassy, fresh cut grass, citrus peel, hint of smoke. MF: good carbon, medium body. Taste: very smoky, little sweet, lots of spices, majory and savory (satureja). Aftertaste: smoke, more spices. I can see this going well with a nice pork chop!

Thanks to Beerlando at Fantômepalooza 2011. Golden pour with thick white head. Spicy herbal notes, oregano and citrus aroma. Minty, dank herbal and bitter spice taste. A bit of a mish mosh of flavors.

Bottle 750ml.

Light unclear medium orange yellow colour with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy fruity - pineapple ? mandarin, moderate barnyard. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and light moderate bitter with a long duration, plastic, orange - mandarin sweet. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20120128]

75cl green bottle. 2011 vintage. Aroma is grainy and fruity. Tons of grapefruit, really a lot of it. A tad of sweetness and some floral component. Aroma is a completely different beast, and definitely more complex. Starts kind of fruity again, then roasted notes. Coffee and licorica, some woodiness. Then a definite spiciness in the end: black pepper and yeasts. Fabulous. Good carbonation and medium body. This beer is ridicolously drinkable and tasty, complex and great. A unique treat. One of best Fantomes, definitely.

Bottle courtesy of craytonic at the recent Fantome mega-tasting. Served in a Fantome tulip. Reviewed from notes. Pours a slightly-hazy straw color with a good white head and some light lacing. The nose has some slight floral notes with a bit of wheat and fruit behind. The flavor has some wheat and light citrus. Light earth. Light body and crisp carbonation with a very dry finish. Very nice.

Hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, yeasty, spicy and fruity - tangerine. Flavor is medium sweet, moderate bitter and light acidic. Dry, moderate bitter and light acidic. 280112

Bottle @ Too many Geuze’s - only one toilet , Ulfborg 2012. Pours hazy dark golden with a large creamy white head. Barnyard and orange fruit. Tangerine, green herbs and spices. Oregano Italy dish like. Fresh and fruity and nothing less than odd - not that "were" not used to that!

Bottle. Unclear amber/dark yellow with medium off-white head. Aroma is malt, fruit and citrus fruits. Flavour is malt, citrus, orange peels, little acid, tangerine, little acid, little plastic and spices.

Hazy orange of color with a lazy white head. An aroma of dust, cellar, tangerin, spice and dry. A flavor of plastic, dry, cellar and spice.
