Commercial Description:
This is a delicious, textural, and fizzy county ale, bright gold colour, citric and sour, reminiscent of a good champagne or lambic but in a class all its own.
Fantôme – Golden ale, 8% alc. by volume, with a wonderfully musty and characterful aroma. There are many drinkers out there who believe this is the “Nectar of the Gods.” Certainly no other brewer makes beer like this, in Belgium or anywhere. How many beers of 8% plus offer such fresh fruitiness? A solid Belgian saison beer at its base, with an unusual overlay of fruitiness.

Odd pale yellow looking with a small white head. Aroma is very abstract and candy like with lots of berries and other less common fruit. Mouthfeel is lively and rather light. Flavour is just as yeasty and abstract as the aroma, very original and tasty, quite clean and fruity without much bitterness but still really flavourfull and cool.

From the Bottle at the Falling Rock Tap House, Denver 26/09/2009 Big hop aroma. Golden coloured slightly sour and strong in alcohol with a little bitterness in a very dry finish.

750mL Bottle, purchased at Wakefield Liqours - Wakefield, RI.This beer pops with a delicious swamp of apple-filled corkiness. Rich cellar character gives way to a bit of Brett-like funk and a kiss of shimmering hops. Comes in a very effervescent pale gold, with a billowing fine white head. Flavor reveals richer and more satisfying malt complexity. Bright, snappy and spicy yeasts compliment the cellar-like nose. Oh so fresh and drinkable. Crispy. Very dry, but holding satisfying character. As a standard measurement of the style, it exceeds my expectations and is absolutely stunning. I’ll drink anything Fantome brews. Long live the white ghost!

Bouteille verte de 750 ml. Arômes d’agrumes et de levure fruitée. On remarque déjà des effluves acides. Robe orangée et trouble, légère mousse et effervescence assez faible. En bouche, la bière est relativement ronde et présente une belle touche maltée très légèrement sucrée. On remarque également une touche de levure fruitée et campagnarde. Puis une longue finale lactique et citrique s’installe et est accompagnée d’une légère touche de houblon. Très rafraîchissant et facile à boire, l’alcool ne transparaît pas du tout. Un classique !

Reviewed 8/21/2009 (Bottle BB ??/??, cork 086/477044): Pours a very cloudy dark yellow, almost orange but not quite, color body. With a big creamy white head, lasting. Muted, musty aroma, fruity and sweet spicy. Maybe some plasticy. Soft taste, very muted, very light tasting. Some light fruitniness. Very light taste, drying. Almost watery. Thirst quenching, would be good on a hot day. Almost a plasticy taste. Just okay, not the greatest, not much flavor to speak of.

Bottle. Hazy orange pour with a thin off-white head. Malty and fruity aroma with a bit of tartness. Malty and yeasty flavor up front with some tart orange, a bit of apple and some hops in the finish.
