Southampton Cuvee des Fleurs

Brewed by Southampton Publick House
Style: Saison
Southampton, New York USA

Bottle: Deep golden in color with a bubbly white head that fades. Sweet aroma which is malt dominated (almost cake like). And also has some spicy character with hints of white pepper. Flavor is similar with a tight carbonation. Somewhat spicy, peppery. Also has sweet hints of vanilla, lemon cookie and orange peel. Lots of spicyness with notes of white pepper, thyme and a strong spicy alcohol bite in the finish. Nothing impressive, but drinkable.

750ml, 2005 vintage, cellar aged approx 2 years. pours golden with white head. nose has coriander, flowers, diacetyl, wow a really interested nose. flavor is very earthy, butter, flowery, coriander, and some tangerine. extremely crisp and refreshing. very pissenlit-esque which is cool because i just had that last night and couldn’t get enough of it, and same goes for this well crafted beer, they nailed it! rmouthfeel is full and carbination is low-med. very smooth finish. abv well hidden. an awesome beer. a touch too much diacetyl prevents this from being a 4.3............................................... another sample from a fresher bottle thanks to dickinsonbeer. i found this really spiced up and almost medicinal at first but once i got used to the spices they seemed actually mellow and the wonderful floral notes in the flavor were appreciated. i still really dig this beer.

C-bus 7. This was one of the highlights of the evening for me. Aroma of spices, honey, and flowers--no suprise there...Golden in color with a big, fluffy head. Medium palate. The taste starts out with some sweet, very light honey tastes that are held up by the floral aspects which seem to change throughout. Very intriguing brew that I would love to revisit soon.

Big thanks to mgumby10 for sharing this wonderful brew. My first example of this style. Pours a golden, cloudy color with a white, fizzy head. Aromas of spice, citrus, clove, yeast. Flavor is yeast, dough, spice, citrus bite. Good carbonation, tickly medium mouthfeel. Finish is medium length, spicy and the clove really comes through, as well as some funkiness. Excellent brew, not as sour as I expected.
