Nov 19, 2008 750ml bottle. Thanks for bringing this Tim, you know I love the Saisons! Aroma is wintergreen, xmas spices?, light yeast, light sweet malt backing. Initial taste is wintergreen/mint followed by some tartness & acidity. As always, Fantome beers are interesting, but I didn’t care much for the spicing on this one.

Oct 15, 2008 we got a gusher!!! after wiping up the mess..........quite a dark pour, amber/brown, with a big off white/brownish head. Aroma is very odd, reminds me of this awful lemon malt liquor i used to chug in highschool called Boomerang. There are also hints of ginger, and a touch of funk. Fllavour is more of that odd lemon with a ginger finish

Oct 12, 2008 750ml from my Summer Secret Santa - thanks, Tyler!!! A darker pour than many Fantome beers, with a big and well-carbonated body. The nose certainly has some interesting aromas in there, not just the ubiquitous funk but a very dry herbal quality mixed with menthol and some cooking spices like sage and thyme. It resembles mint in places but it’s got a cooling quality that’s certainly like menthol - maybe juniper as some reviews have suggested (my palate doesn’t recognize it)? At any rate, the combination of the frosty flavors with the dry, herbals and the funk is a quirky one, very Fantome indeed. This Dany Prignon doesn’t give a fuck, and I say that with great admiration.

Sep 23, 2008 Bottle from Monument in Concord, CA. Dark amber color with a decent beige head. Interesting complex spice aromas. Something suggests a touch of winter green. Approximately medium body with mild carbonation. Never tasted juniper except in gin, but this seems similar. Maybe a bit like sassafras? It’s a very drinkable ale. Funk is very mild.

Aug 18, 2008 Pours deep caramel with minimal head. The nose is spice and juniper. This carries into the flavor. The finish is clean and dry.
