2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Thanks to Gazza for sharing this hugely expensive (£5.60!) bottle. Blond appearance. Fresh garden mint and nettles aroma. Softly spritzy. Mint again. Some bitterness. Lingering dryness. Wheaty finish, like those wheat cereals. Mildly interesting. £5.60 - I can’t get over that. I haven’t been impressed by the Fantome products I’ve tried, despite all the acclaim.

Cloudy orange with a foamy white head. Sharp fruit and yeast aroma with hay tones. Dry and harsh flavor. Hayish with some smokey tones. Tastes like a wet dishcloth!! Quite unique like the other Fantôme I have had, but Saisons will never be my favorite....

2007-11-30, Papsø’s Blind Tasting
Corked bottle
Cloudy blond color. Very interesting aroma, sour, with cellar smell, cork, light grapefruit, very light vanilla. The flavor is much less interesting, built on a weak body, with more astringency than acidity. Weird.

Bottle (Sune) at ØLklubben. Unclear dark brown - white head. Dusty, spiderweb, candy (vingummi), high sweetness, caramel, fruity, light sourness / citrussy !!
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pour is a very hazy straw color with a smallish white head. Looks like infected peritoneal fluid. Aroma is funky lemon, faint rock candy sweetness, a touch of hay, distant berry, and a touch of lime. Flavor is extremely subtle with light hints of lemon, very lightly funky, a touch of hay, and some light floral notes at the end. Really drinkable, but not very impressive. Not that I did not like it, but just not what I’m expecting at this price and from this brewery. If it were mass produced by a Macro, It be a solid session choice. Very much like Tecate with a healthy squeeze of lime.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Sour and spicy aroma. Pours cloudy hazy yello with a medium fluffy white head. Lame flavor, spicy and sour. I really dont get saisons and i dont get why people are raving so much about this brewery, how bout some consistency?
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cloudy yellow colour with a white head. Malty, fruity and light sweet aroma with vague tart notes and hints of yeast. Fruity, light sweet flavor with yeasty and acidic notes. Light dry, citric finish.
2.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Dull brown, white foamy hat. Aroma of herbs, dry cheese, cider fails to deliver. Weak but spicy carrot-tomato-fruit soup flavor. Thin, watery mouthfeel. I wish I knew what other people see in this one.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
This must have been an old or just bad bottle. Pours a murky orange color with a small off-white head. Really just off. Plastic, rubber, booze, and maybe some bleach. A decent lemon flavor and some floral and yeasty notes.

Bottle courtesy of Wohlfs. Don’t have much to say really. Bottle was 100% euro-skunk, from front to back. Which of course I can’t stand. Sorry.
