Jun 8, 2008 Bottle... SMAACMSM O-Town Throwdown, Part Sept... Murky straw-colored ale with a mid-sized, wispy, white head. Decent retention. Terrific, but confusing, fruity nose... tropical fruit? Mango? Pineapple? A bunch of tropical fruits and spices thrown into a blender? Medium to full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and ticklish carbonation. Tangy and fruity (citrus, tropical, fuzzy). Piquant, mildly bitter finish.

Jun 6, 2008 Nice golden hue. Fruity, leathery, mildly astringent aroma. Fresh smelling, and slightly oaky. Fruity and slightly sweetish sour taste on a medium mouthfeel. Oily on the tongue with lightly dancing bubbles showing through. Finishes clean. A nice refreshing farmhouse ale.

May 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear golden with a small white head that fades to a ring and leaves minimal lacing. Aroma of citrus, leather, some funk, and a hint of strawberries. Taste is the same as aroma with sweet strawberries being more prominent. Medium thin mouthfeel with very light carbonation and slightly tart finish. The low carbonation detracted from the overall pleasure of the beer but it’s still a very tasty brew.

May 23, 2008 Very intriguing and unique aroma, strawberry, pineapple, apricot, peach, etc. Super hazy foxy orange body, not so much carbonation. Flavor is fine, sweet, a little funky, very yeasty, and rather bitter for a Belgian, quite original and overall good, but for me it’s more appreciable than actually enjoyable. And in the end, a little too alcoholic and a little too expensive...

May 21, 2008 750ml. Pours a very cloudy, bright cidery color with a big fluffy white head. Not quite as carbonated as usual Fantome, the head isn’t enormous like I’ve come to expect. Aroma is very strongly funky. Huge brett presence, lemon, funk, horse, hay, citrusy, hops?. Taste is strawberry, intense fruitiness, with a nice soft finish. This is very different from the other Fantomes I’ve had. Much fruitier and less dry. This one has a silky, even creamy texture, which I like just not what I was expecting. This is very good, as usual with this brewery though I think I prefer the Printemps and Hiver.

May 20, 2008 Starts with a faint aroma with some citrus, some spice, and a bit of funk in it. Pours a clear bright amber, with a thin white head. Flavor is a bit on the sweet side, very refreshing with no alcohol bite at all. Very little funkiness detectable in the flavor. Mainly strawberry notes are detectable. May want to lay some of this down and see if the funk comes out with some age.
