Dec 10, 2005 Deeply hazy golden ale with a thick big bubbled white head. Nice spicey yeast aroma with notes of lemon, oranges and herbs. In mouth, funky herbal tatse, with lemony notes, and acid points. No alcohol noticed. Winter 2005

Nov 19, 2005 Updated: Sep 1, 2007I love this beer! Beautiful, dense head appears orange-creme. Kind of subtle compared to most Saisons I’ve had (especially other Fantomes) but very quaffable and tasty. I tasted hints of beeswax and clove. Really! Definitely got the citrus peel thing at the end, but also malty and sour tang. Great mouthfeel.

Aug 29, 2005 A light yellow, hazy beer. Dominated by orange peel, slightly bitter. A little boring actually (that’s a bold statement for a fantome beer). I want to give the benefit of doubt that this beer is either too warm or not a great example, but I’m holding my breath. Still, better than a lot of stuff out there.

Aug 23, 2005 Tasted @ Dr. Bill’s party... thanks!
Dark golden color with a small head and lots of lacing. Strong horseblanket aroma and taste. Very strong grassy notes through-out with hints of citrus in the flavor. very grassy aftertaste as well.

Aug 19, 2005 08.19.05 750ml bottle. Dark, hazed, and lovely sunrise golden below a thinly remaining film of white foam. Aroma is fruity and sweet like a tripel, but grassy and sharp like a ligher saison. Nice. Citrus and cotton candy, strawberry jam and lemon grass. Quite light and juicy throughout. Heaps of interesting juxtipositions make this brew a delight.

Jul 17, 2005 I had two samples of this at Belgium Comes to Cooperstown 2005. The skunkiness factor was quite low and I thank the bottle-keeper for this as my experience with green bottles has been interesting. The beer had a touch of grassiness with some citrus and maltiness in there.
