Bottle. Hazy orange brown coloured with a huge but fast disappearing head. Aroma of dried fruits, fruits and spices. Flavour of fruits and spices with notes of grapes and dusty notes.

Tons of spices in this beer, not the least bit subtle like many other saisions. Cedar notes, orange zest, this is just a crazy concoction. Coriander too. Quite nice.

Bottle. Orangey amber colour, with a fierce head that disappeared completely. Cloudy. Aroma is spicy, ice tea has been mentioned, at least lemon can be detected. Tastes of spices, and among them pepper and coriander are prominent. Noticeable alcohol. Orange flavours. Easily drinkable and complex.

Bouteille, dégustée au Bistro des Bières Belges à St-Hubert. De couleur ambrée orange foncée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées terreuses aux notes boisées sauvages (agrumes, notes de cerises sûres et de fruits tropicaux très mûrs), légèrement malté de caramel très doux, de céréales et de houblon floral avec des notes de sucre bonbon et également avec des notes de d’épices (coriandre et notes de poivre) et de fromage vieilli. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et une texture aux notes crémeuses et asséchantes. Goût de levures fruitées légèrement sûres et acides (agrumes, léger de pommes mûres avec des notes de cerises sûres et de mangues très mûres) avec un goût épicé (coriandre, notes de poivre) et de faibles notes boisées lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel très doux avec des petites notes de sucre bonbon accompagné de notes de pain et de fromage vieilli puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume asséchante de levures épicées (poivre), de houblon floral et herbeux et un léger goût d’alcool. Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, légèrement amer de houblon floral et herbeux, de levures avec des notes d’alcool et un léger goût fruité (moût de cerises, zest d’agrumes, traces de pelures de pommes).

Blame cheapdark, if he can rate, so can I. Consumed on my porch on the first stinking hot evening of the year. Poured a nice hazy golden color with short lived fizzy foam. Aroma is straight up Lipton lemon flavored iced tea mix, not the tea itself, but the powdered mix. Strange. First sip is a huge contrast to the aroma, big tidal wave of orange peel like bitterness with hints of candi sugar. Second pour gives me... is that a hop particle? Yay small breweries! Why do I still have xmas lights on my porch?? For the final pour I let some yeast infiltrate my glass in attempt to fight the bitterness, it works to a point, giving a somewhat nutty balance to the bitter orange peel onslaught.

5/15/07. Cloudy cider with a thin, tan head. Peppery apple with a touch of cherry. Soft, but up-front, carb with a lightish body. Hints of sour apricot and honeydew; black pepper toward the end. Very nice.

Hazy dark orange color, no head. Earthy, banana fruity aroma. Earthy, fruity, cellary, funky, some strawberry, some hay in the flavor. Typical crazy Fantome saison - propbaly brewed with strawberries.
