Fantôme Saison is a cult farmhouse ale from Brasserie Fantôme, located in the Érezée, in the Wallonia region, Belgium. Renowned for its rich aromatics and complex character, this saison is handcrafted in very small batches of only 6 barrels, with significant variation between releases due to the brewer's ongoing experimentation with herbs and spices.

Visually, it pours a hazy golden color with a fine, foamy white head. The aroma reveals layers of tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, bright citrus notes (lemon, orange, tangerine), subtle earthiness, and spice accents - especially black pepper, cooling herbal tones, and coriander - combined with rustic, barnyard nuances.

On the palate, it's juicy and refreshing, with vibrant layers of citrus and tropical fruit balanced by a dry malt backbone, a slight salinity, and restrained bitterness. The finish is dry, lively, and gently spiced, showcasing a mild “funk” from Fantôme’s signature yeast strain.
