12oz. bottle. Intensely fruity aroma, spicy and citric, with notes of banana, lemon, orange, coriander, vanilla and clove, also showing honeysuckle sweetness and a mildly doughy yeast character. Cloudy medium straw yellow color with a lasting, fine, uneven head. Pretty nicely balanced flavor profile, with lightly malty sweetness up front, giving way to a gently citric bitterness and herbal hop tones, becoming spicier and tangy towards the finish, which dries out to a surprising extent by the end. Finely carbonated, gently acidic and smooth palate, body is medium. Incredibly easy to quaff. Nice overall.

Cloudy, yellowish white. Nose of coriander with hints of oranges and apricots. Flavor is quite sweet, with aforementioned notes of coriander/orange/apricot blending together nicely into a tangy pleasure. Some alcohol presence noted, but not badly.

This is really good stuff. very aromatic with some banana and bubble gum coming through mildly. Also a subtle spiciness, and a little alcohol, which I don’t mind, although I don’t think it really has anywhere to hide. pours bright yellowish orange with a big haze and head which dissipates into a foam that lingers in the middle of the glass. was a really beautiful pour. lovely flavor, refreshing tartness with lots of spicy notes, kind of phenolic. palate is nice and tingly which I love in the summer. Quite the enjoyable summer treat, even though its a winter seasonal?

I thought this would taste bigger than it did when i saw double white. Nice light and floral and citrus aroma. A light bitterness and not very sweet at all for being a 7% wit. Pretty good stuff that is refreshing, easy to drink, and still very flavorful.

Bomber. Thanks, Luiss! Pours a cloudy, lightly bubbly medium orange. Gorgeous. Thin white head skipping around the surface for a second. Big nose of lemon, a tiny bit of banana in there, orange pith and coriander too. Forward attack though not super aggressive; medium body, active carb, and lively, sparkling flavors. All the old favorites from the nose show up on the tongue: lemon, orange, banana, coriander. Fun stuff. Very drinkable, refreshing--and complex enough to be satisfying. This is nice work by SH.

22oz Bomber. Nice brew for a hot night. Spicy wit nose. Pours a lively gold with tons of tiny bubbles. Spicy upfront with a slight sour finish. well done

This is easily the best Wit I have ever had. True to form, this is like Hoegaarden on steriods. It works though, it works really well. Awesome beer. Southhampton has yet to let me down.

On tap at Spotted Pig. A nice white. Pour was cloudy light yellow. Aroma was spiced. Flavor was crisp with some tartness and plenty of orange. Body was very carbonated, almost too much so. A nice white, though I’m not sure about the difference in this double and another "single" white.
