7/06/19 Bottle from Tasty Beverage in Asheville a few months back. Shelf was overflowing with new Fantome stock. “Best before end of 2020”. Ommegang anniversary glass. Big lathered head leads to a clear copper brew. It actually takes quite a while to dissipate. Subsequent pours are somewhat hazy. Smells of leafy bitters, honey & very mild banana yeastiness. Nothing fancy. Taste is soft but numbing lingering bitterness, Cheerio turning into toasted/lightly charred maltiness. Missing that third note. Tastes like a less than super fresh ipa of unknown origin. Foamy, super-carbed(but not infected), dry. This is okay.

Poured a clear amber color with a big white head. Aroma was light sweet malts, herbal, light raisin. Yeast, toast, sweetness.

75cl bottle gushed then clear amber with some white head.  Malt and spice.  Yeast.  Soggy bread.  It's solid. Part amber. Part saison.  Dry finish.  7 4 7 4 13

Florals and soft citrus. Golden orange pour with good head. Boozy end. Lemon maybe. Bottle.

Sampled from the bottle. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has sweet grains and hay with a bit of flora and barnyard funk supporting. Flavor has sweet bread with grains and some earthy fruits backing.

Probably the least interesting Fantomes I have had. Dry, with yeast. Simple malt and yeast flavor. Nothing here to enjoy very much.
