750 mL capped and corked green bottle.

Pour is a clouded orange, with a medium head that fades quickly. No lace. Nose offers a kind of diluted orange notes, and little more.

This is odd, and not great. Some orange notes up front, with a bitter, drying, finish. The spices seem bitter, and obviously the hops are old. I believe that this was brewed in 2019, and it’s showing every inch of its age. Touches of oxidation, plenty of cardboard, and not much else.

I hate the fact that I’ve come to this late, but with a lot of Fantôme that shouldn’t matter; here it does.

Pass, and I suggest that you do too.
