Southampton Cuvee des Fleurs

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

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.

Edible flowers means it won’t kill you to eat them...doesn’t mean that they taste good!!! Honey pour with a 1/4 inch eggshell head. Nose shows cinnamon, exotic spice, pepper, rose petals, nutmeg, lavender, and citrus. This one is nearly undrinkable. Small samples required...anything more would be uncivilized. Medium mouthfeel with ample carbonation. Just not a fan.

Pours out a carbonated, somewhat cloudy yellow color. The aroma is intense and very intriguing of flowers, spices and maybe some notes of fennel? The pour produces a rather large fluffy white head. The taste is refreshing with a nice complexity of flowers, fruit and some spice. Very interesting brew.

750ml bottle from NYbeer, thank you Steven. Dark gold pour with a small white head. actually smell like flowers, a bit muted, but its there. My sister in-law said it was lovely. A bit spicy and very floral, and very light tasting, but very good. Weird, but good.

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

Pours a cloudy golden hue with a white head. Aromas are sweet with hints of honey, almonds, pez/candy. Flavors of candy, roses , honey, and very refreshing and light on the palate.

2007 batch, this one hand-bottled two days prior to the rest of the batch being bottled for sale at the brewery. Cool. Soft orange pour, big white head, random lacing. Huge honeysuckle! Aroma is very powerful and really breathtaking. Also scents of orange sherbet, herbal and grassy hops. Smells so green and alive! This is incredible, proof that Phil Markowski’s passion is as intense and fiery as ever. Other aromas come to light soon after, including coriander, cinnamon rolls, big lavender, grassy hops, more intense honey and heather. This smells wonderful, truly a great aroma. Brutally intense. The backside of the inhalation brings a tang I associate with cave aged Emmentaler cheese, the funkier variety from France. Flavor is mostly similar. Very full bodied and sweet up front with a nicely drying grassy hop finish. Lemon, spice and everything nice. The consistency reminds me of homemade soda at times. Great yeast character completes the extravagant mouthfeel. A lingering sweet/spice combination leaves a tingling residue on the inside of my cheeks. Only major "flaw": at this very young age the alcohol really pounds at the palate. Otherwise this beer comes up just short of perfect for the style, including major bonus points for creativity in flavoring. I’d put this in the "phenomenal" or "bad-ass" category, definitely one I’d love to have again soon.

Tasted alone at the Labor Day event. Why alone? This is about the time when my gas from the imperial stout tasting came to haunt me. Haunt me and peal the paint of the wall. I think an exorcism of aofoxxy’s garage might be in order if odd events occur. Seriously, her car wouldnt start the next day after that. Ahyhow, the aroma is a slight mustard an cinnamon, malt and bread. Flavor is not as impressive as the aroma. More of a summery spice feel.
