I love Fantome and had high expectations for this one.
Poured clear yellow, clearly high carb, the head disapates.
Smell is very mild. Smells a bit tart, a bit of Brett funk. Maybe some citrus but it's all very muted.
Taste likewise is mildly tart - I wouldn't even say sour. I imagined this would be "extra" everything, but instead it's "less" of everything I expect from Fantome.
Mouthfeel is spritzy and a bit thin. Not as substantial as Fantome saison, Ete, Printemps, etc.
Overall, not an extra special, extra sour or extra flavorful beer. There was nothing "off" about it. Just nothing that made me want to come back to it.
