Hazy gold with a hint of brown. Clean white head that stays for a consideral amount of time. Yeasty, spicy, and slightly citrus aromas. Flavors are more spicy than other fantomes. The finish is dry with notes of citrus and a touch of menthol, alchohol or mint. Love that Fantome, but not their best.

750ml bottle. No vintage. Aroma is crisp, refreshing, slightly funky and very outdoor-sy. A hint of coconut meat. Dusty leaf pile. Cut flowers. A slight impression of wet wood. Wheat malt and aged hops. Frutiness and dustiness play well with each other. Pours a slightly hazed dark, thick copper. Hoppier and mustier on the tongue than on the nose. Wet grass, pear meat, earthy yeast and a touch of pineapple funk. Celery salt. Dry grape stem. Richer wheat malt leads to a nic bitter grape stem finish. Creamy texture. Rich, but not overbearing carbonation. Finishes with a touch of earthy mustiness. Another winner from Fantome.

Bottle. Pours a lightly hazy golden color with a slight copper hue and a fluffy, thick white head that stuck around for a while. Lightly tart, fruity aroma with some lemon zest, orange, and a hint of pear, along with some light wheat-like malt, some floral, spicy hops, and a bit of funky yeast. Semi-sweet, lightly tart entry with some nice fruitiness, including some lemon, orange, apple, and even a bit of grape, lead into a crisp, lightly funky/spicy yeastiness that transitions into a moderately floral, herbal, dry hoppiness in the finish. Another nice beer from Fantome.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy beige color ale with a huge foamy off-white head with some good retention and some good lacing. Aroma is somewhat vinous with some sour notes with some weird floral-like notes. Taste is a mix between some strong Belgian style malt with some funky and sour notes and a strange herbal/floral ending. Full body with some strong carbonation and no apparent alcohol. The last few Fantome I have had have been somewhat disappointing but this one was different and very tasty.
