Also for ratings about Blanche Pamplemousse, as the regular Blanche sometimes has grapefruit, and sometimes doesn’t, and there’s no way you can tell from the label.

4.1 Une très belle blanche complexe et équilibrée avec un nez qui allie des notes d'agrumes, d'épices, de levures et une bouche fraîche, équilibrée et harmonieuse.

3.0 Rami Rami is drinking a Blanche de Fantôme by Brasserie Fantôme at Kufle i Kapsle Nie zgadlbym, ze to witbier, bo dosc pelny, slodkawy, przyprawowy (ale nie kolendrowy), troche owocowy ale tak na jasno europejsko a nie jakiestam skorki dorzucone. Ciekawostka raczej, niezbyt smaczna

3.7 Tap @Kufle i Kapsle in Warsaw. Blond cloudy bright pour with a medium irregular foam pretty adhesive. Nose: citric, spiciness is moderate, herbs. Mouth is very tart, grapefruit, Belgian yeast and noble hops.

3.9 750 ml bottle from Roybeer, Milano, Italy. It pours yellow, with a huge, white head. Aroma is lemon, citrus, grass, pine, lemon tart, lime, yogurt. Taste is light sour, light bitter. Body is light, carbonation is fizzy.

3.9 Аромат мощный и крутой. Очень много цитрусовых ноток, в частности большое количество корочки от апельсина и грейпфрута, немного лимонных ноток, также есть легкие кислые оттенки сена. Цвет классный, большая белоснежная и игривая пенка, много пузырей, цвет мутный, но не пос стилю. Вкус вообще не напоминает классический витбир. Сильное присутствие оттенков из другого стиля, а точнее сайзона. Немного сена и кислых ноток при глотке, также много цитрусовых, особенно грейпфрута. При послевкусие появляются четкие лимонные нотки. Пшенички почти не ощущается, хотя дрожжи есть. Весьма сильная и продолжительная фруктовая и немного травяная горечь. Она полностью и окончательно выбивает нас из классического витбира. В целом, это ни разу не пшеничка в бельгийском стиле, хотя само по себе пиво весьма интересное.

3.8 On tap @Sam Beer (Rome). Dorata, mediamente torbida, schiuma bianca media. Al naso intense note di pompelmo, scorza di limone, erbaceo. In bocca è amara, lievemente acidula, citrica, secca. Corpo medio, carbonazione medio-alta. Decisamente atipica, ma niente male.

3.7 Backlog, bottle. Pours a hazy yellow golden with strong carbonation and a fluffy head. Nose and flavor were brett, soap, spice, orange peel, grapefruit, and grass. Finishes on the dryer side of the scale with a lighter to medium body.

3.4 Pours a hazy pale yellow with a good and quite dense head. Nice and intense enough aroma shows white bread, crackery hint, fruity notes (both citric and pear), slight spiciness and a grassy note. Taste confirms the aroma, with a light crackery and bready base, fruity notes (pear, lemon), slight earthiness and spiciness and a firmly bitter grass finish. Overall it's medium to high sweet and medium bitter with a bitter finish, surely much more bitter than your average blanche. Light bodied with extremely high carbonation, perhaps too high, quite burpy. Overall a rather interesting blanche (actually something in the middle of blanche and saison) with good enough complexity. If not for such high carbonation it would have been much more easily drinkable

3.7 5th November 2016 High Wycome House Warming. Thanks to Leighton. Light haze on this gold beer, thin white head. Palate is light, semi dry and fairly crisp. Nice combination of white wine tang and nectarines. Mild seltzer. Floral finish with light sherbet. Unexpectedly good.

3.6 Bottle 75cl. @ Zombier, Malaga, Spain. A: Hazy golden. T: Wheat, citrus, grapefruit.

3.7 Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is fairly citrusy with some grapefruit zest and hints of lemon and lime. Light coriander notes. Hints of grain and wheat. Light floral and fruity esters. Pours a somewhat hazy, pale, yellow gold with a very, very large, pillowy, white head that continues to expand before eventually falling into itself many minutes later. Flavor is slightly sweet with some light wheat and grain notes. Moderate citrus notes of grapefruit, lemon, and orange. Light coriander notes with some light, peppery phenolic notes. Light floral and fruit esters with pear and stone fruit. Low bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with very high carbonation (but not a gusher). Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty tasty beer with good aromas, but it is impossible to drink with how carbonated it is and how good the head retention is. Nice citrus notes with light, balanced phenolics. Light floral and fruity esters add some complexity.

3.6 November 2016 - Bottle share at Theydon’s High Wycombe Tasting. Thanks Leighton! As ’Fantôme Blanche’, 4.5%. Hazy orange, still, no real head. Aroma is celery, soapy. Body is light with tingly carbonation. Taste is chardonnay, elderflower, light citrus, dusty lightly floral vibes, big white wine vibes. Tastes great but thin bodied with a bit of a soapy aroma.

4.1 Bottle shared by Dunt. Thanks man! Hazy dark yellow body with a small white cap. Lemon, funk, light spice. Lemon forward. Light in body and easy drinking. A hint of acetic character. Crushable. Santé! Earlier Rating: 12/6/2012 Total Score: 3.8 Bottle shared by yourefragile. Thanks Michael. Sampled alongside twenty other Fantôme beers. The beer is hazy and light yellow hued, with a small white head and sparse lacing. The aroma brings some light spice, candied fruit, and a subtle medicinal scent. Good flavor. Tastes like fruit juice in some regards. Refreshing and light, this is a stellar example of a session beer. A lot of flavor packed into a 4% abv beer. I would definitely have this again, and would like to have a few of these in the cellar. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 11-06-2011

3.9 Bottle at Cafe Sara, november 12th 2014. Unclear yellow body with a big white head. Aroma of lemon, peppery yeast, herbs. Taste is slightly sour, spicy, with choriander and lime. Good tartness throughout. An excellent beer.

3.3 Pours orange with a quickly fading head. Aroma of orange peel, herbal notes, soft farmhouse notes. Quite acidic. Similar flavours, more tartness and some big mandarin notes. More orange peel, somewhat herbal.

2.8 Bottle thanks to northernbrews. Aroma is just dominated by black pepper with some light wheat. Tastes the same with some light bubblegum yeast and tea. Not a huge fan.

3.3 Courtesy of tectactoe Bottle: The aroma consists of moderate-heavy florals, pepper, perfume, dank notes, grass, and barely a hint of citrus. It pours a hazy dull golden-orange with a small white head that quickly fades to a thin ring. The flavor starts with light-moderate citrus with some sour lemon. The finish has light-moderate lemon peel, pepper, florals, and a touch of grass. It’s light bodied with lively carbonation that is a bit prickly.

3.3 Looks.. Murky dark yellow, sml dissipating head. Smells..prominent fresh citrus, unripe peach and and old light coloured wood scent. Tastes..loads of juice fruity citrus notes up front, a little wheat, some herbal and old light wood, some kind of weird hard candy.. It’s ok but didn’t win me over.

3.4 Bottle shared Light orange, quite hazy, white head. Smell of gooseberries, citrus, hints of funk and light malts. Moderate sweet, quite fruity, a touch of acids, quite complex fruit flavor palate, citrus as well. Moderate bitter finish
