Light, fruity and champagne-like. Fantôme brews special seasonal beers, never repeating a recipe from year to year. This one is for spring . . .

bu11zeye (9626) - Frisco (Dallas), Texas, USA - FEB 25, 2005
(750ml bottle) Pours a lightly cloudy orange body with a large rocky white head. Aroma is tart at first and then is musty like that of old books. Palate is soft, somewhat acidic, and bitter. Flavor is tart with spicy yeast, white grapes, cirtus, and other spices.

anders37 (9280) - Malmö, SWEDEN - MAR 15, 2006

Dedollewaitor (9263) - Odense, DENMARK - OCT 29, 2007
Cloudy yellow with a nice lasting white head & tremendous lacings. Fresh aroma - very fantome like - spicy & fruity with the classic herbal/earthy touch. Slightly sour. Medium bodied. Some hops & yeast were spotted in the end. This was my last Fantome while I was in Belgium. Got pretty drunk drinking all these large bottles by myself:-)

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - MAY 20, 2007
Bottled 75cl
Hazy dark orange color, no head. Earthy, banana fruity aroma. Earthy, fruity, cellary, funky, some strawberry, some hay in the flavor. Typical crazy Fantome saison - propbaly brewed with strawberries.

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - OCT 14, 2002
Hazy orange body with big off-white head. Aroma of cloves and other spices. Flavor is strong spiciness, rich and malty. Hint of astringency in the aftertaste. It’s interesting, even good, but I can’t see me going back to it later.

yngwie (8717) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - AUG 1, 2011
Bottle, 75cl, kindly shared by Beer2000. It pours an unclear, yellowish golden body topped by a finger-thick white head. Slightly flowery on thee nose, fruity-sweetish and grapefruity, with some pineapple caramel. Honey, pale malts, herbs and lots of fruityness in the flavor. Medium to full body, nice level of carbonation. Pale malts, fruityness and herbs in the finish. An unusual beer, maybe a bit low on bitterness, but I certainly wouldn’t mind drinking more of it. 110501

faroeviking (8598) - Kongens Lyngby, FÖROYAR, FAROE ISLANDS - DEC 1, 2007
Pours a hazy golden colour. Sour moldy aroma. The flavour is bitter, sour, herby and yeasty with some lemon. Dry herby bitterish finish.
