Fantôme Saison (ABV 8%) from Brasserie Fantôme is a tremendously delicious, textural, and fizzy county ale, bright gold in color, citric and sour -- reminiscent of a good champagne or lambic but in a class all its own.
It has a wonderfully musty and characterful aroma. There are many drinkers out there who believe this is the "Nectar of the Gods." Certainly, no other brewer makes beer like this, in Belgium or anywhere. How many beers of 8% plus offer such fresh fruitiness? A solid Belgian Saison beer at its base, with an unusual overlay of fruitiness.

Brewery Information:
Fantôme (Brasserie Fantôme) is a small brewery in Soy, Wallonia, Belgium. Founded in 1988 by Dany Prignon, it is known for its unique variations on the Saison style of farmhouse ale, often involving the use of herbs, spices, or fruit juice. Their complex, earthy, and herbal flavors have caused them to be sought out by connoisseurs the world over.
The name of the brewery stems from a legend of the nearby town of La Roche-en-Ardenne, which asserts that the ghost of the long-dead Countess Berthe de La Roche can still be seen walking amidst the ruins of the town's castle.
