Fantome: Saison

Name: Fantome: Saison
Brewed In/Type: Belguim / Saison
Bought at/Price: Binny's / $4.99 (clearance)
Dennis:Picked this up in the clearance bin of a local Binny's, just before somebody else came in looking to purchase this last bottle. The color of this beer is amazing, something I normally don't comment on. It comes out so soft and gold, you'd think it was almost a generic american macro brew, but the aroma really lets you know that this isn't micheloeb. The body is light with just a tad of agressive carbonation, but the taste is just amazing. Hits right away with peach, and follows up with a perfect bitter twang.
Jen: After pouring ths, I was not expecting too much due to the very light color of it, but after takeing a whiff, I knew that it would have a lot to offer. The first taste is quite shocking, very tangy and sour. Then, on the second sip, I can taste the fruits and an almost grassy like bitterness at the end. Quite bubbly, easy to drink and done well.
Rating: 3.75 out of 5

$4.99!!! Man, I've been wanting to try this but the cheapest I've seen it was $11.99. Nice find.

Yeah, we were really lucky, and it was really good beer.
