Ridiculous. Nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, god knows what else. Fantôme often uses spices but is usually quite balanced, unlike this which is just a sea of spices. The "red rice IPA" is completely obliterated. I used to work at an Onsen in Japan. Good times!

330ml bottle. Cloudy, orange golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally zesty, citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, minimally strawy, pale malty background, hints of mandarine, mandarine kernels. Taste is mildly bitter, citrusy fruity hoppy, sweet-ish, minimally grainy, pale malty basis, notes of mandarine, orange, some orange peel.
Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation.
Nicely hopped, drinkable, maybe a tad too sweet - enjoyable.

Tropical, fruity, sweet and smooth

Überraschend malziger Beginn, Karamell, Zimt, Kardamom. Röstnoten, dahinter deutlich hopfig, milde Süße. Der Hopfen wird mit der Zeit stärker, cremig, stark gewürzig. Vollmundig, langer gewürzig hopfiger Abgang, wow! 9/12/10/12/11/12

440ml can. Opaque, darkest brown colour with average to huge, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, dark beige to tan head. Roasty, dark malty and slightly grassy, minimally piney and fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of coffee grounds, some orange, mandarine, orange zest, whiffs of liquorice, later some raspberry as well. Taste is bitter, roasty, dark malty and bitter, minimally earthy, grassy hoppy, sweet-ish, caramel malty and slightly fruity, hoppy counterpart, notes of coffee, sugared coffee, hints of melon, orange, some liquorice, mandarine, orange zest.
Oily-watery texture, smooth, slightly greasy, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation.
Not the most exciting aroma, accordingly the comparatively rich and complex taste comes partly as a surprise; nice contrast of sweet and bitter flavours, kind of double contradiction: fruity hoppy sweetness vs. roasty malty bitterness and caramel malty sweetness vs. earthy, hoppy bitterness - pretty nice.

440ml can. Cloudy, dark ruby colour with minimally late awakening, average to huge, frothy to creamy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, dark sulphureous head. Minimally perfumed, spicy aroma, widely disguised, caramel malty background, notes of allspice, ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, pimento, cardamom, weak hoppy overtones with a touch of orange. Taste is caramel malty with some residual sweetness, mildly bitter, minimally fruity hoppy, and mildly spicy, (well integrated) notes of allspice again, a weak touch of melon and mandarine.
Oily texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Very nice composition, well balanced, harmonious, integrated, not overspiced - pretty good.

440ml can. Minimally cloudy, orange, golden colour with average to huge, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, very pale sulphureous head. Citrusy fruity and slightly piney, hoppy aroma, pale and caramel malty background, notes of pineapple, lemon, grapefruit, minimal jelly bear character. Taste is bitter, grassy, citrusy fruity, minimally piney hoppy, minimally sugary, pale and caramel malty basis with low residual sweetness, hints of lemon, grapefruit, orange, a mineral touch.
Watery texture, dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation.
Rather watery, still minimally homebrew-ish in a way - OK.

Süffiger, hell getreidiger Beginn. Geringe Süße, eher trocken, wenig bitter, gut trinkbar aber nicht spannend. 9/7/8/7//7
