4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
[Rated 06/27/2010] Bottle. Pours deep golden color with thick foamy head. Aroma is semi-sweet of grain. Very nice on the palate, a nice mix of sweet, sour and bitter taste. Some hints of citrus. Leaves a very nice finish. Maybe the flavor is a little too mild, but this make it more drinkable and enjoyable. I very much like this one.

Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a 2008 bottle. Pours a hazy yellow color with noticeable sediment floaties. Medium somewhat fizzy white head that burns away steadily. Spotty lacing on the glass. Notes of apple, yeast and malt in the nose. Medium body with a mildly tart apple character and flavors of confectionery sugar, herbal yeast, and wheat. The finish is fruity with a semi-sweet apple aftertaste. Solid Saison from start to finish.

C’est spectaculaire à quel point une bière si pale peut être aussi opaque. La Fantôme fascine dès le départ avec sa présence en bouche souple à l’effervescence parfaite. Plus sucré qu’une saison traditionnelle, elle compense rapidement avec l’acidité du brett et la finale citronnée. Un incontournable à garder dans son cellier.

Bottle at home. It pours cloudy golden yellow, with a thick white head. The nose is banana, juicy Braeburn apple, farmyard, custard and vanilla. The taste is farmyard, hay, straw, custard, spice, apple, some lemon tartness and alcohol warmth, with a bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Tasty stuff.

Cloudy hazy golden body with a white head. Great spicy yeasty aroma with notes of wheat, orange, grapes, some mustiness. Medium moderately carbonated palate. Dry yeasty flavour with cereal, some green apple. Excellent.

Bottle with good until Jan 2013 stamped on the label. Pour is a cloudy straw color with a thin white head. Aromas are white wine, oranges, bubble gum, and some funk. Taste is saison like with the hoppiness you would expect, but the sweetness and fruity profile are very unique. There are notes of apples, grapes, oranges, and funky yeast. The finish is sour in a wierd way, but not bad. Overall, I really like this one but it is in a class all its own.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from a store in Belgium (can’t remember which). Fruity smell with some fruit candy. A bit sour taste with fruits, berries, rasberries, feels like sommer. Very nice beer that is easy to drink and at the same time very different from all the other saisons I’ve tried. Insanely easy to drink, feels like it gets sucked down my throat.

75 cl bottle from bieresgourmet. Almost clear, golden liquid with medium off-white head. Aroma of apples, cherries, funk, bubblegum and light malt. Taste is light sweet though quite dry, medium bitter and light sour. Really fruity and nice. Medium bodied with high carbonation. Really good saison with appropriate funk. Very well balanced.
