Fantôme Saison Sorachi
Brasserie Fantôme

A 750ml corked and capped bottle, bottle 260 of 650, with a best before date of end of 2022. Poured into a Holy Mountain tulip glass.

Appearance: Slow to moderate gusher upon popping the cork, it was a hazy golden orange colour, with an almost three finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly, but settled to a thin cap, while leaving only sparse lacing.

Aroma: Grapefruit, citrus zest, lime, candied orange, yeasty, herbal, with a touch of coconut and light funk.

Taste: Sweet and bitter, candied grapefruit, orange, citrus zest, sweet malt, caramel, herbal, coconut notes, and a spicy acidic kick.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with high carbonation.

Overall: The high carbonation was a bit uncomfortable here, but I still found it better than the Simcoe version with it’s enjoyable aroma and flavours.

Bottle. Big gusher. Amber gold color.

A bit tart and a lot funky. Earthy and spicy hops. Medicinal funk. The bitterness builds on the pallet. A bit of orange citrus.

Really solid and unique for the base saison.
