Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow colour with a huge well lasting white head. Aroma of wheat, spice and fruits. Good mouthfeel. Flavour of wheat, yeast, coriander, some fruits and hops. Wheat spiced finish.

Bottle. I have been wanting to taste one of the Southampton white ales for a long time, so at the moment they are available in Denmark. Once again an exciting beer delivered by Ølkonsortiet. That beeing said, I must admit that I´m a little disappointed with this one. Pale yellow with medium long lasting lacing. Aroma dominated by oranges and quite simple also some weak and not very nice notes of stable. Taste again dominated wih oranges and quite alcoholdominated. This beer is far away from the best belgium witbiers. It´s lacking the complexity of Hoegarden both in aroma and taste. But still good to try it.

BOM club. pour is a cloudy dishwater yellow with a small white head, okay lacing. smell is very fermented at first, then wheat, yeast, lemon, and coriander. taste is lots of yeast, sour, wheat, then the lemon comes out with spice and pepper, leaves the mouth dry.

hazy yellow with a big head that quickly diminishes with no lace. aroma is tart and lemony with some spice. Flavor is sweet, tart, light and refreshing. A good drinkable beer. Not extremely impressed, but I think I may have finished it off when it was too cold.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Hazy, pale golden with a white head. Aroma of yeast and coriander. Medium body with notes of yeast and citrus and a somewhat quinine-like bitter astringency in the finish. 191207

Tap at SPH. Poured a hazy yellow, with a thin white head. Medium carbonation. The aroma was fresh and spicy, I detected hints of citrus and others. The flavor was aggressive with orange and lemon dominating wheat and other earthier flavors. Medium mouth feel, was medium finish was slightly bitter. This was the most interesting SPH brew I tried. Although not my favorite, I enjoyed this beer.

Thanks to Morten from Danish Beerhouse. Unclear golden colour with a huge white head. Aroma of wheat, and hints of sourness. Flavour of wheat, littler sourness, some orange and hints of coriander, ends up very refreshing.

35 cl bottle. Unclear hazy yellow with a beauty egg white head that lasts. Aroma is fresh - orange peel & only light coriander & wheat. Smooth & soft palate. Taste is a bit more aggressive. A lot of coriander, some wheat & cough medicine feel. A bit too violent I think! But OK
