simply wonderful! the aroma filled the room when I poured, smells of candy apples, spring, farmhouse with some sweet tones. Taste was explosive, not as acid as I would have expected, taste was of green apples, berrys, some hints of pine, yeasty, with a perfect balance of hops and malt. Extremly carbonated, which was very good. Farmhouse feeling, a some nostalgia, I was in heaven picturing myself on a quiet riverbank somewhere in Europe, with trees all around, clear skys and heat .. my god this is good! Extremly complex! edit : I was tempting to give this a perfect score when I rated this first, and that just what it deserves. Perfect saison !!

Typical massive Fantome head. Very dense and creamy and a very nice ivory color. The orange body is quite cloudy. This beer looks freaking incredible in the glass! The aroma is spicy and bready with hints of fresh friuts, smells like a Fantome. What flavors, no particular flavor stands out but there are many of them swirling about in there. Simply amazing how the flavors are so subtle but yet they all work together to create an amazing overall experience. The palate is also amazing, smooth with a good amount of bitterness that creeps up on you. Very clean spicy finish. An exceptional offering from a wonderful brewery. Thanks a bunch to Indra for sending this my way. The eagle has truly landed!

Cloudy orange-copper body with a small tan head. Aggressive nose of citric funk. I love it. Taste is very funky and very acidic. Really full body filled with crunchy toasted grains, orange peels, herbal spices. There’s also some fruity notes and some citrusy hops in there but overall it is the intense funky tartness that dominates the taste. Acidity level that rivals that of many lambics. Very dry and intense wild beer that ends-up feeling like a cross between a Saison and a Gueuze. A truly unique beer, wilder than a sailor on shore leave.

Orange/golden hue with nice lacing. Overall this has super quality. The flavor is spicy, yeasty, and finishes with a ton of crazy flavors. Slight barnyard notes, fruity, citrusy, and sweet. Fabulous. It is much cleaner than other Fantome offerings, and very light on the palate. Slightly dry finish. Straight-forward. Highly recommended!
