May 14, 2007 From a 12 oz. bottle with a short blurb on the neck label, no freshness date, sampled at cellar temperature in a stange glass.
Poured a clear golden auburn with a frothy, foamy off-white head that slowly settled into a thin sudsy lacing.
Light, faint fruity aroma with a little nuttiness, sweet malts, bare hints of caramel and floral.
Airy feel, but medium carbonation and a softly crisp, thin light bodied mouthfeel.
A sour grape fruitiness was the first thing I noticed in the taste, grainy with a watery touch of sweet caramel toffee, salty nuts, some lemon citric bitterness towards the end, and a dry, thin dirty grain finish.
This is the first beer from Southampton that I haven’t been impressed with, just not a good altbier.

May 6, 2007 More thn the sum of its parts, I think. Brown with a reddish tint, nice spongy head. Aroma is rye or pumpernickel bread, maybe a touch of black pepper, too. Nice bread, sweet, with notes of earth (doesn’t that sound the title of some really pretentious Moody Blues Album? But I digress...) rye, and subtle hints of molassess and even a little honey. Very enjoyable.

Apr 25, 2007 Pours a copper color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel, lots of sweet malts, nuts, and some fruit. Flavor starts off with the sweeter tones of the caramel, malts, and fruit, and finishes with a slight bitterness from some floral hops. I was more impressed with some of their other brews but that’s not really saying much.

Apr 13, 2007 Pours a rich rust color with an initial head of tan fluff that whittles away to a meager collar. Little lacing as the glass is left relatively clean. Aromas give the feel of some nuttiness, a bit of toffee, and a fairly healthy dose of caramel. Flavors of moderately husky graininess, nut, bread. Hops are noted in a floral note that interjects with each swallow. Clean finish, thin body. Drinkable. Not quite sure what the big secret is...

Apr 10, 2007 Bottle. Deep amber pour under a small off white head with very little lacing. Bready aroma with a touch of citrus. Prominant malty flavor with thin ribbons of toasted oat, nuts and some caramel. Thin texture and forgettable but clean finish. Secret?... maybe. Special? ... No.
