Pours a very hazy gold with a ginormous head. Aroma is typical saison farmhouse funk, grassy, herbal, and musty. Flavor is nice, there’s a sharp bite initially, which fades into a smooth grassy hoppiness. Finishes dry and tart.

750ml bottle (2006) from Kingdom Liquors Brandon, Fl. Pours a slightly hazy amber wit a small log lasting white head. Aroma of black pepper, light fruits, slight barnyard, and herbal hops. Taste is the same with a slightly peppery and fruity begining and dry tart finish. Another wonderfull beer from Fantôme.

Poured a amber color with huge head and great lacing. Aroma was a ton of pepper ton. citrus and more pepper. Flavor was pepper caramel and white grapes and some thing that is in hot tea not sure what it was though. Was good.

What a perfect weekend to try this brew. Easter, sunny, friends and family. Pours a golden straw color with a nice white head. Good looking carbonation. The aroma is pleasant with light citrus, semi-sweet hints, bready yeast, and earthy spice. Lightly floral overall. Great blend of flavors (perfect with Easter lunch). Starts with some bitter spice (pepper?) but moves quickly to a semi-sweet citrus, with Belgian yeast. A mix that is very spring like and quenching. From there you move on to the finish of lightly bitter spice (saffron came to mind) and light noble hops. Wet medium body with lots of carbonation. Very refreshing. One of my favorites from Fantome.

Pours a darker amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of yeast, lemon, earth tones, spices, and some funkiness. Flavor starts of with the spices and lemon that give way to the earthy, yeast finish. Has some acidity on the finish as well as a slight alcohol warming.

It reminds me a lot of Saison de Pipaix, with a difficult-to-describe spiciness. Body is medium-to-darkish amber, hazy; head is big, receding very slowly. A slow pour. Oh, geez, I’m not going to be able to describe this very well. Spicy, dry, a strong bitterness at the end. I get a bit of apple in the middle, but it’s hard for a novice to really describe this beer very well. Maybe coriander and ginger, but I think the better palates need to evaluate this one.

750ml capped and corked bottle: Great looking pour - hazy gold with a creamy, two finger head. The nose is really different, with strong hints of celery, cilantro and lime. The spring mix salad with lime continues into the body where notes of caramel, hay and yeast intermingle. Finishes slightly astringent and dry.

Pours a dark golden orange, small white head towards the edge. Aroma of apricto, lemons and spices. Flavor is similar with a very spice/herb body to it. Palate is smooth, spicy and a VERY interesting brew! Thanks to Silphium for this one!
