Fantôme Saison

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

Aroma:Acid,perfume and flower.... Appearance:Hazy gold,good head... Flavor:Grapefruit,lemon....

Pours acloudy yellow with a long lasting white head. Sour almost lemony aroma with a hint of spicieness. Nice clean refreshing mouthfeel. Acidic lemony flavors hit you first, followed by a light spicieness and some pepper. Nice crisp finish leaves you wanting more.

This is definetely one of the best belgian beers I have ever had. The flavor is very fruity, there is a definite strawberry component, nothing in here is overpowering or lacking, everything about this beer is basically right on. If you can try this beer, it is worth it!!

Fantome Saison off tap. How can I pass this one up. I’ve had it out of a bottle before, but this was a superb beer experience. The sweet nectar was poured off tap into a Fantome tulip glass. The beer was a beautiful oranged yellow color wtih a thick billowing head over top that didn’t want to fall for anything. What a nose. Lemon, acid, slight pepper, grapefruity citrus. Damn. All I can say. Nirvana. The nose was great...the flavor was perfection. There is an underlying mandarin orange sweetness that is overlayed with huge lemony citrus acidity and peppery notes. There is a whole lot more going on in there, but I couldn’t put pen to paper and give it justice. Suffice to say it was orgasmic. The feel was right below moderate, exactly where it should be. My only issue was that I was drinking it in the dead of winter, when I thought it should be a summer brew. Overall, I think it is second to none. I could have parked my glass under the tap all night and just drank this. If I ever find it, I will be forced to see if I can get a keg for home. I will actively seek this beer out whenever I can.

Interesting flavor and smell. Very good lacing. Complex taste, good kick. Musty aroma. Good finish. Good summer beer.

Out of a bottle at rich’s, color resembled a mixed drink using orange juice. Damp basement smell, yeasty. Fruity draw yet crisp. Different for me as my first of this type overall very tasty,distinct.

musty, nutty aroma, a little bit of flowery hop aroma. color is reminiscent of a whiskey sour, cloudy orange, tons of sediment, and a huge creamy white head. flavor has a very nice crisp spicyness, but alot of yeastiness, more than most other saisons. finish is nice and clean, spices dominate and linger. a little different, but still very nice.

Bottled 0,75l
Hazy orange color, floating yeast, beautiful beige creamy head. Aroma has flower, lemon, leather, cardboard and horse blanket. Medium-bodied. Citrusy, hoppy, hints of cardboard. Some spices like coriander. Hoppy aftertaste. Very refreshing. A bit like drinking Orval though this is a saison.
