Very large light orange colored head of medium sized bubbles. Dense and creamy on top. Awesome carbonation. Spicy grassy aroma. Lots of pepper and straw. Color is a dark orangish brown. Spicy and dry and a little tart. Fizzy in the mouth. Little dandelion greens and some other bitter green leafy stuff. Dry and lingering spicy aftertaste. Some bitter hops presence also. Little noticable alcohol and warming. Palate is a little thicker that most saisons. More malts that most. A decent saison.

Bottle shared by Dave in between stops during RBWG 2012, thanks
Hazy yellow with a medium sized white head and some lacing. Tart fruit, citrus and clover. Nice and easy drinking.

Cloudy pale orangey amber hue, excellent carbonation and thick head formation. Sweet nectarine aroma with dry, grassy, lemony hops. Sweet nectarine palate with biting bitter hoppiness. Pretty tastey stuff but could have had a little more depth for its style.

Bottle - 750ml. Light amber hazy body with moderate carbonation and a thin off-white foamy/creamy head. Sharp hoppy aroma with sour and fruity notes. Taste is milder than expected. Fresh hoppy flavors with green apple/cider hints. Alcohol is very well hidden. Ends with a decent bitter/sour finish.

Bottle. Hazy amber coloured with a rather small white head. Hmm I guess I’m never gonna learn to really enjoy these saison’s. Always taste infected and like spider webbs and old moldy cloth. And this one is no different. Sorry.

bottle. hazy orange body with a fluffy white head. plush aroma of a potpourri with a myriad of spices. very funky.. a flavourful saison that I could easily drink on any scorcher like today. soft malts. liberal spicing throughout the body. another interesting beer from Fantôme...I’m really digging this brewery.

Large white head, good retention with a thin, broken lace. Hazy, pale straw color that has a glow when held up to the light. Musty, yeasty nose, co2, light maltiness and fruit hints. Light/medium body, well carbonated., co2 bite. Lightly bready malt flavors with plenty of flowery hops. Dry finish, tastey Saison.

I just ran a marathon this morning and it’s spring. If I need another excuse to drink this beer, its label is mostly green and yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day. So why not pop open a $16 bottle of beer? Pours bright orange-golden, hazy with a lovely white head. Nose, like many Fantome beers, is odd and intriguing. Some almost hash-like herbal notes on top of sweet canned peaches and more traditional saison aromas. Apricots. Also some rubbery smells. Not really like any beer (or smell I’ve experienced). Some lemon as well. Taste adds a slightly tangy element, and a hint of metal. Weird but good... which is what I generally expect from this great brewery.

Murky orange in colour. Aroma of apples, pears, oranges, cider and yeast. Flavour was slightly sweet, yeasty, oranges and apples, funky sourness. Medium body. Finishes with a tangy medium bitterness. Quite good.

[from a bottle at "the Mondiale"] Orangey-brown and opaque from the yeast that I got since it was the end of the bottle. Wispy tan covering. Fruity aroma of banana and apricot with strong notes of the yeast esters and some powdery peach and perahps a bit of higher alcohols. House flavour of woody grape with a nice bit of sweet malt and significant bitterness. Light to medium body with medium carbonation and a little lingering bitterness.
