"Poured a cloudy dark gold color with massive head and good lacing. Aroma was lots of lemons spices and lots of pepper. Flavor was much the same with some applces in there. The funk balanced out the sweetness.

"Bottle from Knightly in March '07. Poured a hazy to cloudy golden amber color, very nice frothy head, good retention and lacing. The aroma was tart lemons and apples, various spices, pepper most notable. The flavor followed the aroma, sour apples/lemons prominent, yet refreshing and far from a lambic pucker factor. Funkiness also balanced this out and the peppery wild spicing was rather subdued for Fantome (perhaps in part because of the age?). A nicely done saison, would have enjoyed trying this a few times throughout the past year, tracking how it changed (if at all), although other reviewers seem to note the significant sour/tart factor relative to the rest of what is going on in it."

"Bottled. Deep brownish amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is spices and earth. Flavour is spices, some earth, fruits and very earthy. A very experimental brew. "

"Bottle: Poured a clear burgundy color ale with a big foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of weird spice mix with some sweet Belgian malt. Taste is a mix between some sweet malt, some spices with a weird funky notes that don’t mix well with the other flavour. Body is about average with some low carbonation. It just seems Fantome lost the way to properly mix funky aroma – I have been very disappointed in the last couple of bottle I tried from them."

[5] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/21/2006 12:48:00 PM)
"Glowing hazy amber body with a small-for-Fantome white head. The aroma is highly fruity with lots of orange and even a little lime (especially in the slightly lime bitter-salty finish.) The beer is lightly tart which makes it a very refreshing beer. I really do love Fantome. This isn’t the beauty that was Gourmande, but it’s tasty."
