Fantôme Saison

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

Orange muddy colour. Huge white head. Slightly acidic, earthy aroma with a touch of winter apples. Light, refreshing body. Somewhat sweetish orange and apple flavour. The taste of alcohol is nowhere to be found.

bottle that ernest was generous enough to share with me at bj’s. thanks ernest. pours cloudy yellow with a nice fat white head. lemon aroma with a light sour. dry taste that is still sweet almost like biting into an orange or a juicy apple. ends with a finish that powders the tongue and makes the flavors last.

Bottle. The cork fell apart. It was before Dany switched to a better cork so this bottle must be from ‘01 or ‘02. Beautiful bright golden orange with great head and lacing. Sour horse hair and citrus in the nose. Sour horse blanket, lemon, and blue cheese flavors. Creamy in texture. Great with cheese. Very nice saison. Not meant for ageing but I glad I held on to it for a while.

Nice orange-golden beer with fine puffy head. Refreshing argum aroma’s and touche of fine spices and sweet cakes. Taste is also refreshing and fresh-fruity, Hints of Pimm’s orange, cinamon, candy sugar, ripe stone fruits and butter cakes. Dry and at the same tine smooth fruity accents in the end.

Pours a golden orange hue with a thick, foamy white head. Aromas of oranges, cinnamon, spice and a little funk. Flavors of the same...with a little corriander, orange peel, and a finish to die for. Very similar to pizza ports spf 45, yet not nearly as tasty.

Orange in color with a dense, rocky and consistently morphing head of white foam. Rustic and bursting nose with undeniable aromas of strawberry jam and rock candy along with hints of peach, nectarine and spice. I love how this version is fairly light on spice and instead, just loaded with fresh fruit flavors of all kinds, especially peaches and nectarines. Fairly dry, sweet, slighty tart and extremely complex. It’s hard to believe that after 12 other Fantome beers, the original is still my favorite. It’s incredible each time

2008. This beer is no longer good.

Bottle - dusty, spicy yeasty aroma. Beautiful. A faint, cloudy, pale gold. As white a head of tiny white bubbles (bizillions of them) as you’ll ever see. Tons of floaties and extremely effervescent. Fruity, yeasty, a touch of sourness. I’m not sure what I expected, but this is not it, but it is still amazing! Softly fizzy, almost creamy mouthfeel. This is a terrific beer!

duvel tulip / delicious! nose consists of sugary pears, fresh bread. hazy golden yellow body with some floaties, but a nice lingering sparkly white head says, "dip your nose in me." anyway, the palate is so smooth. it’s cremey, but not thick, and it’s a bit fizzy. i sense more in the flavor than in the aroma--more fruits, but of the tropical variety; spices, not hot like pepper, but it adds such a nice sense of zip. as it warms the palate becomes creamier and the flavor becomes more citric, lemony. complex, but all of it is so stitched well together; refreshing, and warming... this is quality, buddy!
