Blanche de Fantôme

Tap to rate

Blanche de Fantôme is a 4.5% witbier in which the brewer let nature take its course. Lemon and a farmyard funk lead the way, while orange and coriander sit quietly behind them. Like every Fantôme it is brewed in Soy with spring water from the Val d'Aisne and sold in 75 cl bottles, a size the brewery chose for its convivial spirit.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Blanche de Fantôme

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a hazy, cloud-like suspension characteristic of the style. A generous, creamy white head forms and lingers with fine Schaumkleiden clinging to the glass. The body shows lively carbonation that steadily works through the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright lemon and a distinctive farmyard funk—earthy, slightly musty notes that speak to natural fermentation and the brewery's spontaneous approach. Behind these lead characters sit quieter notes of orange zest and coriander seed, supported by a soft wheat grain backdrop and the gentle spice of yeast.

◐ Taste

The palate arrives crisp and citrusy, with lemon and orange playing prominently across the mid-palate. Coriander adds a subtle spice and herbal texture, while the wheat brings a soft, slightly grainy sweetness that balances the mild bitterness. The finish is clean and refreshing, with minimal residual sweetness and a gentle, herbaceous dryness.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste fades gently, leaving behind a light, crisp sensation and a faint echo of lemon and farmyard character. The overall impression is refreshing and inviting rather than lingering.

Serve at 5–8°C

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

Witbier glass

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.

Best consumed fresh. Citrus and spice notes fade after 3–4 months. Drink within 6 months of packaging.
