Pours a medium to darkish golden color. White head. Quite cloudy. This is an odd beer. Cherry and raspberry are the strongest notes in the aroma, but some of the spice comes through, which creates an odd mix. That mix comes through even more in the taste. The raspberries and cherries are a bit weaker, the spice is stronger, there’s an odd sweet note (probably from age, at least in part), and I’m getting a touch of band aid as the beer warms. All that said, I quite like it. It’s definitely fantome crazy. The spice plus fruit combo is odd but interesting. The feel is solid. Good carbonation. I bet it was better fresher but so it goes. Anyway, it’s always fun to try ghost craziness, and I like the fruit.

Aroma is very interesting. Some light raspberry and cherry fruit with some light herbal notes and pepper. Light acidity and moderate barnyard funk. Really odd, but cannot decide if in a good or bad way. Pours a very cloudy golden orange with a hint of a pink hue. Pillowy white head with average retention that hangs around on the edges. Flavor starts moderately sweet and fruity with some cherry juice and raspberry. Medium honey note in the middle is a bit off, but it welcomes in the spice notes of pepper and oregano. Honestly its a bit odd, but once again not necessarily in a bad way. Light citrus notes throughout. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall this beer is just weird. The fruit and the spice works well enough but it is also a bit of a confusing combination for a beer. There is also the light acidity and moderate barnyard character. Definitely odd.
