About
Founded in 1988, Brasserie Fantôme has gained international attention and a cult following among lovers of craft beers. Owned and run by Dany Prignon, Fantôme is known for its unique variations on the Saison style of farmhouse ale, often involving the use of herbs, spices or fruit juice. Within the craft beer community, Fantome saisons are considered highly desirable and have developed a significant audience in the United States and United Kingdom. Ironically, while their complex, earthy, and herbal flavors have caused them to be sought out by connoisseurs outside of Belgium, Fantôme's products are difficult to find and not well known in the country of their origin.

750ml bottle from Discount Liquor. Unfiltered brown-amber body, off-white head fades away. Rustic, malty, hints of Biere de Garde in there with the Saison. I suppose the hops might add a little bit of an English feel. Not quite as complex as some Fantome beers, but still a unique enjoyable beer. Malty, sweet finish, hints of classic Fantome peeking through.

Bottle. Color: Lightly hazy greenish, lightly greenish off-white head. Aroma: Herbal, tea, some grapefruit and lemon. Taste: Following the aroma. Somewhat more herbal than fruity. Zesty grapefruit hints. Some hop in the background. Moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body, just above average carbonation. Nice color!
