Commercial Description:
This is a delicious, textural, and fizzy county ale, bright gold colour, citric and sour, reminiscent of a good champagne or lambic but in a class all its own.
Fantôme – Golden ale, 8% alc. by volume, with a wonderfully musty and characterful aroma. There are many drinkers out there who believe this is the “Nectar of the Gods.” Certainly no other brewer makes beer like this, in Belgium or anywhere. How many beers of 8% plus offer such fresh fruitiness? A solid Belgian saison beer at its base, with an unusual overlay of fruitiness.

Bottle: Kind of a musty sour fruit and yeast aroma. Pours a cloudy orangish-yellow with a small white head. Flavor is a light sour fruit with a lgith yeasty finish. Leaves sort of a citrusy aftertaste. Gets sweeter and yeastier as it warms. Thanks to wolhfs.

Pours a cloudy light orange-yellow body with a huge, frothy head that settles slowly. Aroma is apples, lemongrass, and lettuce. Very light and smooth the whole way through without being thin. Flavors are lime, light apples, and a little pepper. Alcohol flavor non-existant. Great stuff.

Orange muddy colour. Huge white head. Slightly acidic, earthy aroma with a touch of winter apples. Light, refreshing body. Somewhat sweetish orange and apple flavour. The taste of alcohol is nowhere to be found.

bottle that ernest was generous enough to share with me at bj’s. thanks ernest. pours cloudy yellow with a nice fat white head. lemon aroma with a light sour. dry taste that is still sweet almost like biting into an orange or a juicy apple. ends with a finish that powders the tongue and makes the flavors last.

Bottle. The cork fell apart. It was before Dany switched to a better cork so this bottle must be from ‘01 or ‘02. Beautiful bright golden orange with great head and lacing. Sour horse hair and citrus in the nose. Sour horse blanket, lemon, and blue cheese flavors. Creamy in texture. Great with cheese. Very nice saison. Not meant for ageing but I glad I held on to it for a while.

Nice orange-golden beer with fine puffy head. Refreshing argum aroma’s and touche of fine spices and sweet cakes. Taste is also refreshing and fresh-fruity, Hints of Pimm’s orange, cinamon, candy sugar, ripe stone fruits and butter cakes. Dry and at the same tine smooth fruity accents in the end.

Pours a golden orange hue with a thick, foamy white head. Aromas of oranges, cinnamon, spice and a little funk. Flavors of the same...with a little corriander, orange peel, and a finish to die for. Very similar to pizza ports spf 45, yet not nearly as tasty.
