Fantôme Printemps

Brewed by Brasserie Fantôme
Style: Saison
Soy-Erezée, Belgium

Serve in Tulip

This hazy golden ale poured with a thin off-white head and a pleasant, but musty, fruit aroma. Its flavor is fruity and quite a bit more sour than most saisons I have tried. Its refreshing character is much appreciated, since it is 100 degrees F here today and of course my air conditioner just broke down. This brew is also very tasty with some interesting spice.

Thanks to weebehavinganotherkid138. Pours a lightly hazy golden orange with a bubbly white head. Aroma of banana, tropical fruits, sweet malts, peppery and other spicy yeast notes. Flavor was spicy, tropical fruits reminded me of the DeDolle yeast.

I wish I could get a janitorial job at Fantome. i would then mop the floors and proceed to drink the dirty mop water. It would probably still taste very good.

Poured a nice dark orange-copper color with a light tan head. Aroma was grassy and combined a meld of spices. Flavor suggested apples, cloves, anise, and had an oddly appealing peppery heat at the end that lingered in conjunction with a mild sourness.

750ml bottle (2006) from Kingdom Liquors Brandon, Fl. Pours a slightly hazy amber wit a small log lasting white head. Aroma of black pepper, light fruits, slight barnyard, and herbal hops. Taste is the same with a slightly peppery and fruity begining and dry tart finish. Another wonderfull beer from Fantôme.

Bottle, bought @ EG.
Pours muddy yellow-orange with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma has oranges, pepper, light viniousness, malty, crisp. Nice. Medium carbonation, dry and lovely creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is amazingly fresh, flowers (tulips), oranges, citrus. Very fresh and lovely. Long, lingering, light dry mouthfeel and a slight spicy edge. Really fantasticly drinkable.

Bottle: Pours a glowing peach color with a modest sandy head. Mild aroma is typical saison with some yeast, barnyard, and hints of citrus. The taste is crisp and tart with citrus and yeast in a dry champagne like finish. Lightly fruity and lightly barnyard while maintaining a really crisp and fresh taste. Delightful.

UPDATED: OCT 26, 2006 750 ml bottle into a Tulip glass. Pours a somewhat dark to light hazy orange with a big fluffy white head. The aroma blasts off with a fruity, flowery, and very spicey nose with citrus and pear being noticable. The flavor has many notes of the nose being quite peppery. Also having notes of dried fruit, old yeast, grass, and big notes of just farms in general. The body is somewhat thick and it leaves a coating on the palate throughout the spicey finish. The spice sticks around for up to a half an hour after a sip! I love Fantome, and would love to be able to find this more often!!!!
