Wasn’t to fancy about this one. Hazy light amber color, malt and weird orange taste. Celery aftertaste. Kind of sulphury nose.

Pours a flat yellowy-peach with little fetuses floating throughout it.
Nose is peaches, herbs, bark, lemon peel.
Taste is heavily floral with a bizarre fruity juicy syrupy finish.

A yellow color beer with a good size head. The aroma is sour, citric, & some funk. The taste is very lemony and reminds me of watered down lemon juice, in fact this is watered down lemon juice. A bit one dimensional.

5/12/2011 75cl bottle @ home - BB: 6/13 (2011-691)
Very high viscosity, really weird upon pouring. Cloudy orange beer, weird thick slimy head, like when stirring hard in a bucket of wall paper glue. Aroma: sweet ripe to rotten fruit, medlar, some citrus. MF: little carbon, very thick slimy body. Taste: pretty sour start, bitter notes, oranges, little sweet and grassy. Aftertaste: more sour acid touches, spices, bitter dry ending. Extremely weird, both in MF and in taste.

750 ml bottle shared with Ben, served cool in a Petrus goblet (tulip?). Spring 2003. JN06/08.
App.: very cloudy orange, smallish white froth.
Aroma: Lots of lemon a bit of funk, light rubber, some organic acids and a fair amount of bitter greenery and barnyard.
Palate: Medium-light body, very little effervescence.
Flav.: Light stale apple juice, a bit of sour cherries, a little stale, a touch of funk, some organic acids; somewhat tangy, somewhat bitter, light lemon on the finish and a touch of funk.
Didn’t meet my expectations.

750 ml bottle. Hazy golden body with a small white head. Aroma is herbal and yeast, a hint of lambic in the aroma. Flavor is wild and sour with some bitterness. Not very complex but definitively not straight forward as well. Strange and nice.

Bottled sample. Cloudy dark gold in colour with zero carbonation. Aromas are of old wood, citrus, marshmallow, and earth. Tart sour citrus leads the way in the mouth, followed by grasses, earth, a bit more wood, and faint dandelion. Quite heavy in the mouth, even with the lack of carbonation. The acidity makes it at least somewhat drinkable, even when flat. A real shame that it’s flat, as it would have been pretty damn good carbonated. This is my second flat Fantome beer out of about twenty different bottles that I’ve had.

75cl Bottle, bought at the brewery, thanks Harmen! The weirdest pouring beer I’ve seen so far, looks very slimey and syrupy. Muddy light brown colour, looks like liquid Werther’s Original, soapy off white head. Aroma is sour, light floral, a bit fruity. Flavour is rather bitter, floral, tart-sour, hint of caramel, sour-bitter finish. Slimey mouthfeel, thick, lots of carbonation. OK.
