Description
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.

Huge, white whipped eggwhite-like head over veiled, well-carbonated orangey golden beer. Very spicy, peppery, and very yeasty. Bit fiery MF, white breadcrust, faint white candi sugar. Again a bit of pepper and other spices, other grain flour. Light body, very carbonated, slick to viscous. Fantôme seems to have acquired a house yeast, imposing itself on every beer. As to the diacritic signs, I'm sure they mean something, but it's beyond my comprehension. Txs to Stef!

Over 20 people have checked in this beer but no one has actually said anything about it. It's as the name implies: kinda a Belgian blonde, kinda a Biere de Mars. Bright, lots of cereal and fresh hops, very pleasant if a bit one-noted. One of the simpler

Bottle @ Patricks. Unclear deep golden body under a big, nice off-white head. Aroma has a nice ripe fruitiness, malt, toffee, spices and cellar notes. Taste is sweet malt, spices, liquorices, spicy yeast, nice bitterness and ends up quite dry. Another original take on the Saison, quite nice result actually. Still not the best Fantome.

Bottle @ Patricks. Unclear deep golden body under a lacing white head. Spicy yeast aroma, dark malt, toffee and slightly funky. Taste is sweet malt, mild funk, harmonic spicy yeast and a floral touch. Far from the best Fantome but unusually and fun take on the saison style.

On tap at Sergio’s. Pours a clear amber with a lot of visible carbonation with a thin tan head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a light herbal and vegetal note with some grains and light licorice coming through. Flavor has light sweet grains and a strong herbal note with a touch of flora coming through.
