May 11, 2008 Poured gorgeous hazy orange with a huge white head. The nose on the was fantastic, funk and a strange mint hit at the same time, grass, peaches, floral. I don’t have all the words to describe this flavor. Tangy, a slight sweetness, what I can only describe as a slight resin flavor, a little alcohol shows through, yeasts give a little spiciness, a hint of hops, and very tart. Wow. This just dances in my mouth. I blown away at how sour and funky this is, and how nicely it dries out, while still being very lush in the mouth. One of the best beers I’ve ever had. I look forward to the next time I get to try this!

May 1, 2008 Bottled. Well this is actually a Fantôme I enjoyed. Its aroma is floral and fruity, has some cheese. Very special and unique aroma.Hazy, orange coloured with an off-white, thin head. Taste is a little sourish. It starts more citric and fresh, while it ends more flowery and dry. Good brew with a nice complex balance.

Apr 30, 2008 Bottled. Cloudy golden orange color, short white head. Aroma is flowery, slight cheese, soft butter. Sourish taste, cheese, with a dry flowery finish. Fascinating how it covers all the different tastebuds, though not at the same time, but separate from each other.

Apr 30, 2008 Fruity and flowery nose, some spices, truly unique. Initially sour flavour, which later on develops to be more spicy and tea-like. As i mentioned before, unique aroma and flavour. It does get a bit boring after awhile though. Extra points for originality.

Mar 24, 2008 750 ml bottle courtesy of Secret Santa, Summer 2007. Shared with after4ever and hogfodder on 3/20/08. Pour is hazy orange yellow with an off white head. Aroma of the typical Fantôme bright sour acidic (apple) fruitiness. Taste is solid balance between grainy maltiness and soft yeasty floral hoppiness. Soft and smooth palate. Had this with dinner and it worked really well.

Mar 22, 2008 Much thanks for Eclectic for this one. Pours out a hazy light copper/orange color with a moderate slightly off white head. Aroma is funky with good earthy notes, spice and some bitterness. Taste is very complex with an extremely long and lasting finish. Spice and slight bitterness at first take over, leaving you thinking....."Is that it?" Then the funky, floral flavors begin to come in. A nice spice compliments this along with some funky dried fruit and yeast notes.all as the flavors blend together to create a truly enjoyable Saison.

Mar 21, 2008 750. Thanks, Theisti! Murky burnished coppery dark amber. Thick white head, decent sheets of lace. Big sharp fruity, funky nose. Gorgeously restrained and managed aromatics. Nice medium fizzy body with minerally fruit sour mid-palate. Long pithy finish. Difficult to capture all the qualities that make this beer amazing, but I have definitely never tasted anything quite like it, and it is fantastic.

Mar 20, 2008 Courtesy jayg. Hazy golden/orange pour with creamy white lace. Light aroma of spice. A flavor of light cloviness with a hint of almost orange. Creamy filling palate with smooth carbonation. Nice semi sour beer that is very solid.
