This is a tremendously 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.

750ml bottle at home from DeBierkonig, Amsterdam, 22nd December 19. Pours a nice straw colour, big white head. Aroma is yeasty and citrus. Taste is fruity, yeasty, citrus, pretty bitter, floral. It’s got a great mouth feel, slick. Overall a great and complex saison, reminds me of De Ranke, XXX Bitter.

75cl bottle (BBF: end of 2020) from Rob the Gourmets’ Market in Brussels. F: huge, white, long lasting. C: shiny gold, hazy. A: malty, floral, light spicy hoppy, peach, orange, hay, yeasty, vinous touch. T: medium to full malty base, light orange, spicy, peach, bit herbal, dry on the palate, bit funky, higher yet not disturbing carbonation, aroma is bit better than taste but very good beer for the style, good balanced, fully enjoyed.

Typisch saisonsmaakje. Bitter, licht zurig.

From the same bottle as JorisPPattyn. Orange color, cloudy. Aroma has dairy cheese and framboise with hops shining trough. A bit of sweetness in the flavor, but overruled by a sour creme sourness. Goats cheese! There are hops present, but on the background. Citrus. Very interesting beer, probably hasn't the flavor that it ought to have, but I really liked it.
