Sep 12, 2006 Hazy amber-orangeish hue, with a rocky beige head, yeasty, winey fruitiness, with a nice spicy nose of coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and vanilla, with some ripe apples fruity notes, toasted malt, sort of musky feeling in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty winey fruitiness character, of ripe apples, raisins, vinous notes, funkiness, leading towards an acidic fruity peppery finish. I’m less impress of this one, than the firt time i tasted in spuyten duyvel 2004.

Apr 23, 2005 Bottle. Golden colored with a touch of haze. Nice fluffy white head. Funked aroma with notes of light struck Heineken. Lighter bodied, very similar to a pils. Spicey flavors mix with Pils beer and then notes of dandelion sourness. Slightly drying. Nice.

Aug 24, 2007 750 from my Secret Santa - thanks!!! This one’s a very interesting combination of flavors. What else would I expect from Fantome? A moderate pour, compared to some of the explosiveness of some Fantome brews, but one that’s still rich and very aromatic. Fine looking orange hue with moderate lacing and decent retention. What immediately strikes you is - despite the name - an almost autumnal funk, with lots of sour apples and a bit of spice (that I can’t help but associate with clove and cinnamon, though it’s honestly more peppery I suppose). It’s all balanced by that dry and grassy intensity that I love in a saison - here it’s just a tad rough, and maybe this bottle’s beyond its peak. Still quite fine.
