Quite elaborate sunny-yellowed pearly-headed citric seasonal celebrates 12th anniversary by letting unripe juniper,blueberry, and green apple adjuncts inform early white ale effervescence.

FANTOME SAISON D’EREZEE – HIVER
Expressive hazily copper artisanal farmhouse ale brings bold 8% alcohol jab to initial Granny Smith apple tartness, secondary green grape souring, and tertiary prune-fig dryness.

Unbalanced funky barnyard ale remains astringent as raw-grained earthiness and grassy hay parch drench off-putting rye-dried white-peppered lemongrass herbage to sour lemon finish.

Lazy, hazy, pale-toned session beer suffers further when horse-blanket mustiness lessens sweet banana nose and candied coriander-clove sensation. Belgian yeast influence indiscernible.
