Southampton Double White Ale

Brewed by Southampton Publick House
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Southampton, New York USA

Light pale with white head that left some lacing. Aroma was grassy/musty and slightly fruity. Citrus and spicy flavor, clean and little hop profile. A nice easy drinking and flavorful summertime brew, with a bit more kick as a double.

Cloudy, tan-olive colored pour that leaves lace on the glass. Pungent, citrusy aroma with strong floral and malt tones. This is quite robust for a witbier. The Belgian yeast flavor comes thru clearly, and other flavors are noticable too - orange, snappy hops, and a little coriander. More malty-yeasty than gently sweet, this is a spicey wheat ale that you could sip while watching autumn raindrops fall. This is my first rating of a Southampton Publick House brew, and you can color me impressed.

On tap and from a growler at Ginger Man in New York Southampton Double White Ale is a cloudy, bleached-pale yellow color with an airy white colored head. The aroma has a complex wheat base, a touch of alcohol and a lot of citrus and lemon. The flavor is as complex as the aroma and has a great finish. This is a great strong Belgian White.

slightly cloudy, straw color, nose is coriander, dough, and some orange, flavor is ssome citrus, again some yeast, other belgian spices but very smooth and well balanced, quafable, Very Nice

Draught into tulip. Pours cloudy pale yellow, with a foamy white head that fades quickly and leaves no real lacing. Aroma is heavy on sweet lemon zest, with a bit of spicy yeast and coriander in there as well. Taste is sweet and crisp up front - wheat blends with lemon citrus, with the spicy yeast coming in right before a sweet, zesty, clean finish. Very drinkable, full flavored, with a slightly heavier body then many wits I’ve tried. Medium body, crisp carbonation, only a hint of dryness on the finish.

Cloudy yellow appearance. Taste is sour with lemons, bananas, and grapefruit. This is a good representation of a Belgian white. The spiciness is a little too overwhelming.

Bottle. Wheaty, lemon-citrus aroma. Moderate foamy head. Flavor....I don’t know. I guess since it’s called a "double white" I expected it to be stronger. It’s not at all. It tastes about the same as your average wit, with a little bit more alcohol flavor. Not bad at all, but alas, it didn’t meet my expectations.

On draft @ Monster B’s. Very fizzy pour with a thin bubble sip. Tones of orange, coriander and a bit of honey. Very light despite the ABV. My only big complaint is that it gave me a wicked case of acid reflux later on that night.
