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.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 25B-super). Bottle 75 cl - Batch 3A1RU16 (BBF end 2019). AROMA: medium-low citric aroma with phenols of the same intensity (slight pepper/clove). soft medium malt background with a bready. APPEARANCE: gold color and clear. large ivory head, moussy, with good retention. lace formation. TASTE: medium malt flavor, followed by a low fruity character (citrus), medium-low pepper and a slight alcohol character (almost vinous-like). medium bitterness with a dry finish. PALATE: medium-light body with high carbonation. OVERALL: nice saison although the fruitiness is a bit muted on the sample tasted.

Owocowo-kwiatowo-przyprawowe, lekkie, kwaskowate, z wyraznie wyzsza goryczka niz wczesniejsze warki pite. Tez mniej kwasne. Ale nadal bdb+

A pour from the bottle (thx, L-P B.!) on Black Christmas V. Pours a bit hazy golden with a white head. Looks like very carbonated. Aroma and taste are very flowery and fruity. Noticable bitterness and body. Good one.

Bottle - Souted and funky notes with some grass. Clearish gold with a small white head. Effervescent and some petroleum funk. Pepper and grass.

Bottle at Moritz's. Nose is orange, citrus, honey, apricot. Palate is very juicy orange juice, citrus. Sweet finish. A bit of a juicy mess. But it is still tasty and refreshing
