Fantôme Printemps

Brewed by Brasserie Fantôme
Style: Saison
Soy-Erezée, Belgium

Bottle. Poured a deep amber with thin head. Aroma is a nice blend of spices, grass and herbs. Flavor is the same with a some noticable spices of thyme and yeast.

Cloudy orange coloured, almost no head. Yeast, fruit and spices in aroma. Fruity flavour (apple), dry finish. Low carbonation.

big bottle from the Spirit Haus. pours a hazy ornage with a small white head. dissipates slowly. flowers and sour yeastiness dominate this one. a little citrus with that particularly fantome sour aftertaste. Still waiting for a fantome i like as much as the saison i had on tap at the moan and dove.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with no real head. Aroma is fairly weak, nothing of note (maybe I had it too cold??). Flavor strongly of pear, some raspberry, sour fruits. Mouthfeel is syrupy and thick. Just ok, nothing great.

Poured a nice dark orange-copper color with a light tan head. Aroma was grassy and combined a meld of spices. Flavor suggested apples, cloves, anise, and had an oddly appealing peppery heat at the end that lingered in conjunction with a mild sourness.

Bottle - 750ml. Light amber hazy body with moderate carbonation and a thin off-white foamy/creamy head. Sharp hoppy aroma with sour and fruity notes. Taste is milder than expected. Fresh hoppy flavors with green apple/cider hints. Alcohol is very well hidden. Ends with a decent bitter/sour finish.

Peach color with a creamy white head. Attractive spicy aroma. Deliciously light and spritzy flavor. Very easy to drink and enjoy.

Dark orange cloud with a hard glow in bright light. Solid medium sized lightly yellowed cap puffs up quickly to reside to a firm lasting cap of about a quarter inch always present. Lacing is lightly foamy and patterned in thick strings and a few spots. Aroma has a popping spice of lemon pepper with a slight musky rustic wave from the yeast action and a slight grassyness. Gently powering and adequately waftable on the nose. Taste is quite spicy and complexly driven by the yeasty stuff. Partailly souring with lemon juice and lime skin, a bit of tangerine sticks to the gums and tongue in parts of the late finish. Tiny bits of white pepper, corriander, metalic scrappings, and high toned grasses make for lots of added interest. Nothing to withstanding in length as the peppery notes and tin phenols are the only thing that seems to stick in warmth as it floats into the finish. A light citrusy center envelopes as it begins to warm. The spices are quite complexing, but not quite as impressionable for me as the malt body in this is shortened compartively to other Fantome brews I like alot. Although, If ya like spicy beers, this will definately float your palate boat. A little too spicy for my buds, but likeable in an intriguing fashion as it tends to grow on ya with a wonderful spicy warmth. Feel is firm and active with a whole lot of vibrant, mouth tenderizing spicyness. Mildly souring in a moderate tone of acceptable lemony-limeness and broadening yeasty grab and heavy texture. Dryness is also frim and moderate in tone, making for a slower session.
