Jan 10, 2008 Updated: Feb 20, 2008Pours a cloudy pale orange/yellow with medium carbonation and almost no head other than some very large bubbles around the egde of the glass. Aroma of sweet tropical fruit with just a hint of dough and spice. Flavor is largely pineapple and peaches but not sweet enough to cover up what must be a healthy dose of bittering hops. Medium bodied, prickly tartness. Very dry finish.

Jan 8, 2008 Smells like Hoegaarten with the lemon in it. Looks PHENOMENAL in teh glass. Very little head, cloudy, amber. Tastes pretty damn fine as well. Solid one, all around.

Jan 3, 2008 Aroma of citrus, grass, spice and perhaps other fruits. Hazy light orange gold color with a decent white head that tried to stay. Medium body with sharpish carbonation. Flavor is yeast, orange oil, light stone fruits (apricot, peach?), slightly acetic, lightly woody. Finish is quite dry. It is freshly fruity in a sour way. Very nice drink.

Jan 2, 2008 pours a hazy yellow with a thick head – nice lacing. The aroma is floral and spicy. The taste is also spicy and floral with some bitterness and a touch of sweetness. This is a flavorful, but mild beer that has great balance. The mouthfeel is medium and smooth.

Jan 1, 2008 750 ml bottle, bonus from Geoi at South Bay Drugs and Liquor. Pours slightly hazed golden with a large white head that leaves good lace. Frit, citrus and spice in the aroma, along with sweetbread, candied orange, coriander and clove. Overripe orange in flavor, bready yeasts, apricot, spicy herbal notes, floral as well and sourdough. Medium body and gently prickly carbonation. Nice.

Dec 29, 2007 Lot NoC, no date on bottle but I suspecit is is quite old. After all the reviews, I am not that impressed. Meaty, brothy yeast autolosyis dominates the profile with a black pepper spice dominating the palate. It is not an easy beer to drink. It tastes like dirty sweaty gym socks in my mouth. It is really disjointed, the flavors are not coming together. I would take a Omegang Hennapin or Bison Farmhouse Ale to this beer any day.

Dec 22, 2007 Beautiful looking beer. Golden straw with good clarity and a three finger fluffy white head. Nose- musty tartness. Taste- pale malt with a twinge of dry tartness that is earthy, woody and quite spicy. Some lime is evident as well. Carbonation is spritzy but not biting on the tongue. This really drys out the mouth in a good sort of way. Drinkability is good, and its always a sad moment to see an empty bottle of Fantome.
