Southampton Cuvee des Fleurs

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

2004 bottle sampled at Dark Lord Day - Pours golden with a big head. It has a fine aroma of citrus and flowers. It tastes kind of sour and spicey. The hops in the flavor are really interesting and balanced. It’s bubbly on the tongue, yet rather smooth going down. The dry finish was slightly off to me. Overall it’s a very tastey brew.

750ml bottle, thanks to theisti. Highly engaging aroma, very complex, full of yeast character and flowers with a multitude of fruits. Notes include honey, peach, tangerine, orange, pineapple, herbal spice, faintly peppery alcohol, bready, doughy yeast, anise, coriander, mint, lemongrass, incense...wow. Cloudy amber-golden color, translucent, with a sparse, fading head. Flavor is equally astounding, with touches of white wine, tropical fruitiness, massive waves of spice, pale malty sweetness, and a pleasant, lingering, gently acidic tartness at the finish. Palate is lightly effervescent, smooth and gently warming, medium-full bodied. Really amazing stuff, this is.

Celebration November 2004 at CapFlu’s place. 2001 bottle. Orange-brown in colour. Aroma was slightly sour, floral, herbal with some peppery spiciness. Flavour was very rich, beautiful sweetness and an even better sourness, floral, fruity (apples, oranges, lemons), some spices. Finishes with more spices and a wonderful sour bitterness. Thanks for bring this amazing beer tiggmtl.

floral, straw-like aroma with cookie-ish malt and alcoholic fumes..cloudy dirty yellow color, lacey froth..efferscent, floral, & Dupont like. Quite authentic and refreshingly thick and yeasty.

2005 cage date. Thanks to DaveP for sharing. Gusher blew the cork down the hallway. Off orangish pour w/ a huge frothy off white head that dissipates fairly quickly and leaves a moderate lacing behind. Floral aroma some light white peppers hints of clove and a touch of fruits. Palate is well coated a bit astringent. Very nice mellow flavor. some very earthy notes hints of flower petals a dry finish with a sweet front. Odd to taste the sugars, they must be non-fermentables.

on tap, SHPH night, Blind Tiger. Very hazy golden in color with a medium off white head. Aroma is alot of flowers right off the bat with alot of saison yeast notes, spicy, citrus. Taste is spicy, a good amount of flowers, with citrus, pepper, musty yeast. Finishes spicy with a subtle honey like sweetness.

750 ml bottle, bottled at Southampton Publick House. The first glass I poured was a clear gold with a large, frothy white head and lots of carbonation. The second glass I poured was a hazy, almost antique gold color, with a slightly smaller head and a bit less carbonation. I’m guessing there was some sediment on the bottom which did not mix with the initial pour. Other than the appearance, both pours were identical in terms of aroma, flavor and palate. Very nice aroma of malt, rock candy, and a touch of honey. The flavor was also a nice combination of malt, barrel syrup, honey, a bit of orange, all followed up with a warming alcohol burn. Quite good and a tip of the hat to the folks at Southampton Publick House for a job well done.
