Southampton Double White Ale

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

12 oz bottle- excellent beer. Pours a hazy golden color with little foam. Aroma is spicy and fruity with citrus scents very prominent. Flavor was sweet and strong, and palate was smoother than expected. Pleasant aftertaste.

Pours a cloudy golden color with foam white head. Aroma is spicy with lots of citrus orange peel and lemon. Very quaffable with tons of citrus flavors; orange peel, lemon and banana as well as a strong clove presence. Very crisp with a slight sour finish.

Bottle (35 cl), thanks rlgk. Cloudy pale golden, small white head. Spicy aroma with coriander and lemons, and some notes of honey. Medium bodied, ok mouthfeel. Good balance, dry with a tiny sweetness, and some acidity and bitterness.

Reading other reviews I’m convinced I had a bad bottle, but here it goes... Smells of sour fruit, kind of sickening. Pours a hazy gold/yellow with a tall, foamy, white head that disappears quickly. Nice initial citrus, orange taste but it ends on a cringing sour note that is almost too much to stomach. Don’t know where they were going with this beer... I’m a fan of white ales and I was lost.

(12 fl oz bottle, thanks to larsniclas!) On March 15, 2008. Shady yellow color, white head. Spicy, acidic, citrus, grassy, phenolic, malty scent. Acidic, yeasty, citrus taste. Spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Sept. 2007 - Beer pours cloudy yellow, nice head and lacing. Well, for people who want a "Big" witbier, this is the one. Bold strong wheat base, sweet citrus, bubblegum and a lot of spices. An amplified version of a good witbier. It might have been a little too heavy for my likings (not refreshing like most wits), but a really good beer regardless.

Hazy yellow body with a white head; Medium sized pleasant nose, could be a little more fresh, spicy with clear lemon behind; Balanced but a little to full and to bitter for a Wit; Long finish that has to much peel harshness.Not really god but definitely drinkable.

Bottle courtesy Jah Noth - Thanks Dan! Pours an opaque orange color with a fluffy white head that settles into a thick film...lots of lacing throughout. Aroma is good, but not great...orangey and spicy, but there’s something musty about it, and not in a pleasant way. Flavor is similar to the flavor...there’s an abundance of orange and spice, and the flavor is very robust. I’m detecting a sour hint to this beer that differentiates this from other Wits as well. Can’t get by a metallic flavor that is mixed in as well...detracts somewhat. Good mouthfeel...easy to drink and a dry finish keeps you coming back for more...almost Berliner Weisse-like! Good Wit, but was hoping for a bit more!
