This enigmatic Super Strength Saison offers a striking sensory journey characteristic of Brasserie Fantôme’s eccentric house style. The aroma is a vibrant tapestry of herbal green tea, spicy Belgian yeast, and bright citrus esters of lemon and pear. On the palate, a rustic, grainy malt foundation supports layers of earthy botanicals and floral tea leaves. Despite the 8% ABV, the finish remains remarkably dry and effervescent, punctuated by a firm, peppery bitterness and a subtle tannic structure derived from the tea. It is a whimsical yet sophisticated interpretation of the Saison style, balancing alcohol warmth with refreshing, grassy complexity.
Appearance.Luminous green-hued gold (approx. 6 SRM), hazy and unfiltered with a dense, rocky, long-lasting white head and exceptional lacing.
