Southampton Cuvee des Fleurs

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

750ml bottle. Cellared for almost 3 years i think..so likely this is a 2006 botttle..wish i wrote down who sent it. Nose reminds me of an RR beer, a good one although i do not remember the name. Aroma of sour apples, cherries and my socks. Taste is sour apples, cherries, orange hops, white peppercorns, perfume....and my dirty socks soaked in perfume. No i don’t know what my socks are like, dirty or clean...but they likely are something like this. THis is the best..i think..saison i have had. But i just do not dig saisons. Sorry, what can i say. I don’t dig champaign or sparkling wine or whateve reither....and don’t like high carbonation, so there is a pattern theere at least! But this seems like what my socks would be like after 3 hours soaked in weak carbonated perfume

I’m unsure how I ended up with this bottle, but certainly thank whoever is responsible. Shared at hellbilly’s 5th of July tasting. Uncorks like an Irish Spring commercial. Permeates lavendar. Tastes of flower petals, clover, caramel, and mild berries.

750mL bottle. Pours a clear copper color, topped with an ample sized tan head. Very floral, quite spicy aroma, with notes of lavender, menthol, wheat, and berries. Flavor begins with wheat and honey, which are nicely complimented by caramel, flowers, pepper, and herbs. Honey and herbs linger on the palate, with pepper at the tail end. Somewhat thick, syrupy body. Interesting beer, I’m glad i had the opportunity to try it.

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!
