Southampton Cuvee des Fleurs

What a feminine brew - Non-offensive light flavor, clearly lavender with a bit of yeast in the form of sweat & funk. Nose is very, very floral, and its a touch too sweet. Very different.

Pours cloudy pale orange with a fluffy white head. Sweet, floral almond aroma. Taste of flowers and herbal tea. "Different" is probably the best way to describe this beer.

Bottle pours hazy yellow color with white head. Aroma is very floral with some white pepper. Flavor was more of the nose with a dominance in the floral area. I wasn’t real impressed.

bottle. Pours a color of dirty water with small white bubbles along the edge of the glass. Nose is of overripe fruit, flowery perfume and straw. This had an unusual taste. A bit fruity and flowery. Mouthfeel was dry and acidic with slight alcohol.. Different.

Wow. This was amazing! I couldn’t really pick up any individual flower in the aroma or flavor aside from the lavender, but both were an incredible bouquet of floral goodness. Hazy dark orange/yellow color with no head and almost no carbonation. An incredible elixir. Southampton continues to impress. I have yet to have something that was merely "average" from these guys. Just one home run after another!

Bottle. Aroma of straw for the malt, heavy grass and lemon for the hops, cobwebs for the yeast and background notes of white wine, wood, honey and apricot. Head is thin, with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is a slightly hazy honey color. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a soft carbonation. Not bad, different I’d say. Tastes like a cross between mead and beer.

Bottle thanks to hopdog. Pours a very pretty, hazy golden-yellow. Fizzy head. Nose is quite floral, both from flowers and hops. I do get some of the chamomile notes, a touch spicy and a little bit of acidity and funk. Taste is much of the same, very soft and floral. Super light beer for the abv and clean. I could drink a ton of this. Nice acidity that helps with the floral notes. Fantastic.

Thanks to David for bringing the 750! Poured slightly hazy medium golden with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up slightly sour pale malts with much more character from the green floral and yeasty accents.. delicate and delightful! The flavor found fruity and pale malts on the core with chamomile and other floral notes around.. touch of sourness on the edges.. great balance the whole way through. Medium-bodied on the palate.. slightly spicy, slightly sour, and entirely wonderful!
