Southampton Double White Ale

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

12 oz bottle thanks to dmac621. Pours a hazy yellow, and taste of some orange, and sour flavors. I wasnt impressed at first, but towards the end I began to enjoy this beer.

Reviewed 3/25/2009 (Bottle): Pours a pale yellow semi-cloudy body, foamy creamy white head, good lacing, lasting. Aroma is spicy orange zest. Coriander maybe. Enticing. Dusty, musty. Somewhat effervescent. Lemony citrus light carbonation taste. Tasty and refreshing.

Draft. Before me sat a a perfectly poured pint of witbier, orangish in color with a perfectly white head to cap it off. The aroma is so pungent of orange and spice that it wafted up for me to smell with out picking the glass up. The body on this beer is decieving. It is very light, yet delivers a hefty punch. There is a strong hit of orange and spice to the flavor, yet balanced nicely with a malty sweetness to cover the higher ABV. Quite good.

Bottle. Very yeasty citrus nose. Cloudy yellow with thin patchy head. Nice flavor, citrus sour. Not anything amazing. Palate is refreshing with a dry finish.

On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a very hazy, bright orange body with a foamy, snow white, finger-width head that dissipates slowly and remains moderately laced. Aroma of bubblegum wheat. Some Belgian yeastiness, candy lemons and oranges, and a hint of coriander spices. Pretty solid aroma, but the flavor isn’t as nice. Definitely more flavor than a typical white ale, but still relatively boring. Some wheat malts and coriander spicing throughout as well as a light citrus hop backing. Obvious Belgian yeastiness and a crispness throughout. Finishes quick with a light lingering sweet wheat flavor. Palate is medium to light with a tickling carbonated feel. Overall, I guess the white ale category isn’t really my thing. This is nicer than most white ales out there, in fact the aroma was pretty nice, but its still kind of lame. Good balance and refreshing, just not my favorite style.

12oz Bottle thanks to kmweaver, thanks Ken! I like witbiers’ so I wanted to try an east coast higly rated beer. This one was great. Perfect for the hot chicago summer. Wish this one could be available here. Poured a cloudy yellow haze, some fluffy head. Smells of spices, citrus and malts. Taste is soothing and refreshing. Leaving lots of aftertaste of pure goodness.

Cloudy, golden beer. Vanilla aroma with notes of spices and acid. Acidic flavour with notes of malt and fruit.

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.
