Fantôme Saison

75 cl bottle. Big, fragrant, estery, fruity aroma. Citrus, lots of green apples, a bit of honey-like sweetness. Very cloudy, deep golden color with a low, lacy head. Flavor of sweet apples, honey, grapes, citrus, biscuity malts. Sweet, with hop aroma and a bit of bitterness in the mid-palate, but more of a sour balance at the finish. Amazingly fruity, with a good dose of green apple lingering on, along with some alcohol heat. No where near the hops or perfect balance of Dupont, but strong sweet-and-sour character makes it unique. I like it, but would prefer it a little less sweet. The rush of fruit, particularly sour fruits, is very interesting, though.

The aroma is strong, slightly sweet and zesty with a deep blonde appearance. So clean and thick for a saison, but still a nice amount of sediment. This beer is absolutely delicious, one of my favorite saisons.

750 shared with Pipper (thanks!!!). Hazy straw golden body with a big white frothy lacing head. Spicy aroma with some coriander and brett notes. Flavor: wheaty, cereal, dry brett, and some sweet fruit notes with some earthy hay character. Medium to light body with ow carbonation. Nice mouth feel. Overall: no alcohol on this one. It is probably the most dangerously drinkable beer I have had to date.

Poured from bomber into glass. Hazy yellow with some carbonation and a fast-fading off-white head. The aroma is really great - because at first you think there’s nothing there and then at the end of the inhale it gets citrusy and spicy. Smooth but tart flavor, super smooth over the palate also you would have NO idea that there’s a lick of alcohol in here.

Have had several of these and always enjoy it. Enjoyed the spicy, fruity aroma with the peach colored pour. The finish is also crisp with more spice tones. Love the labels as well. Thanks Fantome

Bottle is defiantly flat, and pours a gungy peach-brown-blonde color with clear highlights and no head. I immediately like the lightly acetic fruity yeasty aroma. The sour fruity flavor has good balance and rewards with dry apricot, tart tropical fruit, ripe organic lemon, balsamic, some clean yeast, and dry Alsatian white pinot noir. A little peppery and some fleeting bubble gum. Incredible feel that maxes out the palate and yet doesn’t overwhelm. I like it.

Yum, yum, yum yum, yum yum yum. Tasty, I like this beverage a lot. I think I hit the magical 75 character count by now. HAHAHA, ratings Nazis.

draft @ Brouwer’s Big Wood - a perfect beer after countless wood aged brews; cloudy orange with foamy white head; thick, fruity, yeasty nose; creamy body with sweet fruit and yeast but finish quite dry; mild sourness and floral nose develops; the fruity sweetness is what carries this one; killer brew
