Southampton Double White Ale

Pours a hazy golden orange color with tons of sediment floating around. The head is about 1 finger thick and off-white. No lacing. Nose is lemon, bubblegum, honey, and yeast. The flavor didn’t pack as much punch as I thought it would, but it is very pleasing. Up front is more of the spicy yeast flavor, but it isn’t too bitey... it maintains a pretty smooth character. As that fades, there is some citrus and malty notes that linger on the tongue as the alcohol comes out. Leaves a slight bitterness in the mouth. A very creamy texture.

12oz. bottle, lemon aroma, cloudy gold color, white head. I thought the lemon was a bit strong, but with the higher level of carbonation it worked well. Nice summer brew.

Aroma is full of yeast esters, honey, lemon zest, and floral aromas. It’s appearance is a slightly pale cloudy color, with a nice full head. It’s flavor is excellent with nice full pale malts, honey, light citrus, and some yeasty notes. It’s exceptionally smooth, with a bit of hmmm!!!! The power is nice creating a nice dull delivery. It’s excellent.

12oz bottle. Lemony zest, spicy, floral aroma. Taste is very spicy and citrusy, and excellent at first. I found that the more I drank, the less I enjoyed it, as the lemon spiciness overpowered the beer.

12 oz bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Hazy yellow color with yeast flocs and vanishing head. Spicy, perfumed, acidic, corky and appley aroma with notes of rhubarb. Dry, woody, corky, peppery and clovey flavor with coriander, strawberry and rhubarb. Dry sherry like finish. A great beer reminding dry saisons or fino sherry.
