750 mL bottle purchased at Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Pours hazy orange with a small, fizzy, white head, mostly lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (hay, straw, cereal), average hops (flowers, grass), heavy yeast (horse blanket, barnyard, earth) with notes of grapes, pear, and wood. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness and acidity, moderate bitterness.

Bottle. Medium sized white head and fine-medium sized bubbles that were mostly lasting. Very little carbonation, hazy and a golden hue. Malty, banana, clove, and spicy aroma. Acidic, sweet, spicy, clove flavor with a mild aftertaste. Mouthfeel was somewhat tingly and somewhat dry and watery. Medium bodied with fair lacing.

HUGE thanks to jeffc666 for sharing this awesome beer! Pours a clouded amber with a tight frothy white head. Body has many suspended particle flecks in it. Aroma is spicy and sort of peppery. There’s an aroma of yeast and a light hint of fruit as well. Taste is spiced with a yeasty/wheaty body intermingling with more fruit, a faint hint of bubblegum, and definite spice. Sort of like a suped up witbier. The 8% alcohol is absolutely undetectable. Very soft and light mouthfeel, although there is some carbonation on the palate. Finish is more spice with the pepper coming out a bit more. Nice beer and an awesome way to hit 900!

750ml I got in Vegas. thanks to Wetherel for letting me know I hadn’t rated this. Shared with my gf over dinner. I usually love fantome but something about this doesn’t sit qutie right. Pours golden with a bright white head. Nose is sweet but overly spiced. The spice comes back in the taste and it just really doesn’t do it for me.

Hazy orange color, no head. Aroma of hop, fruity, peach, slight spicy. Slight sour taste, dry, spicy of nutmeg, hint of cinnamon. All those Fantome beers are overrated.

Tap, ZBF 2004. Faintly hazy gold, low white head and moderate condition. Spicy fruit and yeast in the nose with some cinnamon and mulled wine spices noticable, full bodied sweet and tangily spicy in the mouth and a powdery dryness in the finish, but still with a lingering spiciness.

Good solid cork "pop". Cloudy dark orange. Thick foamy head. Light zesty aroma with apples and flowers. Apple front in the taste, light baking soda essence. Light body is a little watery. Don’t notice the alcohol at all. Enjoyable refresher. Salty finish.
