Day 75, September 26

The Offering: Fantome Printemps, Belgian Saison

ABV: 8%

Another night at Gourmet Haus, a German beer garden in Redwood City. This is the place for beer lovers on the Peninsula. Our server gave a raving review of this brew, telling us it's his favorite saison and finally sold me with old "I only have bottle left" line.

This brew was created by a one man brewery in Belgium. Apparently the recipe changes year to year but they are always in the same vein of super funky. This one is definitely super funky. Super smokey and bitter. Basically a funky smoked hops flavor with a super dry finish. Amazingly bitter mid palate with huge notes of smoked leather. Hops and yeast are the strongest elements here but there are all sorts of barnyard flavors here. This one is a must try for the avid beer drinkers but is definitely not for everyone. Enjoy.

Points: 91

Thanks to Steve

Cheers
