Bottled. Reddish amber, brief lively head. The nose has less of that interesting winegum than some other Fantôme brews, and instead a vague dryish herbal touch. It’s medium sweet with dense, clean mouthfeel. Estery flavuor with notes of seville orange marmelade and a salty edge. Dangerously drinkable. Though not as directly appealing as the best Fantôme beers, it still is a fascinating, complex and yet refreshing brew.

Bottle. Hazy dark amber colour with a very big longlasting off-white head. Malty fruity aroma. Aroma of dandelions. You also have the dandelions in the flavor. The flavor is also fruity and malty with some hop bitterness. Long bitter aftertaste.

Cloudy burnt orange color, with the usual, beautiful Fantome head - earthy aroma, with copious amount of floral notes, some vegetable qualities - grassy, herbal flavor - a bit tea-like - the dandelions are in there in the background, along with a mildly sweet malt profile - camomile and lilac in the finish - as usual, nice stuff.

Bottle at l’Autre Oeil, Summer 2005. Red brown ale, hazy and dirty, with no head. Sour ground cherry in aroma with fiddle head, and light coriander. Spiced malts with sweet spiced notes, dandelion, licorice and vinaigry acidity. Smooth and enjoyable.

Bottle. Light must and weed aroma. Dark orange yellow color - cloudy with gigantic head and violent effervercense. Earthy malt flavor with dandelion flavor being pretty strong in my opinion. A moderate bitter finish. A very interesting brew. Saisons always catch me off guard with their alcohol content - would have never guessed this was 8%.

Bottle: Poured an orangey color ale with a huge off-white head with perfect retention. Aroma of light spices which possibly includes cumin with some subtle funky yeast. Finish is slightly bitter but I would have expected a bit more at the end. Body is way too thin which kind of ruined part of the experience for me. Alcohol is well hidden. Overall, this is a very fine saison but I guess I was expecting another funky spicy monster which is not what this is about it seems.

Pale brown/orange, hazy colour. Rich head. Toffee and liquorice aroma. Light liquorice flavour. The after taste is very bitter, probably due to the dandelions. Dandelions are bitter. I think I prefer hop bitterness.

Bottled, vintage 2004
Nut brown. Slightly hazy (some floating yeast) .Good tanned head. Aroma has herbs, hops, yeast and caramel plus touch of barnyard. Medium-bodied, carbonated. Refreshing summer drink with good hop character. Some sweet yeasts in the background. Though classic saison, this one is quite close to some quality tripels. Warming alcohol in the aftertaste.
