Southampton Cuvee des Fleurs

Bottle shared by theisti at his tasting 10/12. Pours a hazy gold with a thin white head and soap bubble lacing. My pour, which came from the last third of the bottle was much darker than the first two-thirds. The aroma is very nice: sour, peppery, floral, sweet and citric. There are more olfactory notes coming at me than I can adequately distinguish or detail here. The palate is medium-bodied and slick with a finish that is clean and dry at the swallow. Honey-like sweetness up front with notes of citrus, white pepper, yeast and flowers. This is a very tasty beer and is one that I will be looking for in the future.

750ml from beastiefan2k, enjoyed at my tasting 10/12. Pour is clear golden with a faded white head. Aroma of flowers, pure sweet light honey and cloves. Taste is really interesting, a super soft palate with flowers, spice and cloves shining gently through. Incredibly well balanced, and just a treat to enjoy. Thanks so much for this one, Eugene.

750ml bottle provided by theisti
Really hardcore floral aroma. Its like I shoved my head in a flower case at the grocery store.
Hazy yellow with some orange hues. Minimal white head which is to say there’s a white ring around the edge.
The flowers are the showcase here. Not sure what to say about it other than I like it.
Soft with light carbonation.
Really an interesting beer.

750ml, caged and corked, bottle. Poured an initially clear golden color with a smaller sized white head. The pours became cloudier and cloudier towards the bottom with some big floaters. Aromas of ’Fleurs’ (very floral), citrus, and spices. Tastes of spices, citrus, flowers, caramel, and just all around herbal.

Thanks to hopdog. Pours a translucent golden with a smaller bubbly white head. Aroma was very floral, ginger, citrus and malty sweetness. Flavor of honey, malty sweetness, lots of spices, dry finish. Aged nicely.

Bottle shared at glouglouburps roof top tasting. Poured a flat golden orange with virtually no head even after some serious agitation. very very floral nose with some detectable lavender and a very light hint of malts. Medium bodied and rather dry, well it is a saison so what would you expect?? Lots of floral notes in the flavor as well and as nice as this was it just is to far past my palate for now. A good beer just not for me.

The cloudy orange serving I got looked mysterious as it came my way, but I didn’t have time to really examine it in an artistic sense, as there were so many people trying to get in line for beer. The smell lingered long after my first sip, which just exploded with floral tastes. I couldn’t remember anything like it terms of its smooth character with flowers and mild maltiness. It was part Saison and part Tripel to me. I thought this would make a great beer to serve in real beer loving company rather than the masses who might not understand it.
