Belgian Golden Strong Saison

Fantôme Pissenlit (ABV 8%) from Brasserie Fantôme is a Saison brewed with dandelions ("pissenlit" in French).

Every spring, Dany Prignon, the offbeat brewer at Fantôme, picks bushels of the dandelions that grow in the fields around the picturesque farmhouse brewery. The yellow flowers are removed and dried in the sun, then soaked in water for a few days. The thick, dark dandelion "tea" that results is the basis for the Pissenlit, which is made also from traditional barley malt and hops.

It resembles a classic Saison beer - a deep golden, spritzy brew, strong and very flavorful, with a good hop bite. You may have to strain to taste the dandelions, but you know they're in there!

Ratebeer.com rating: 95 (out of 100) 25.4 oz corked and capped bottle.
