Southampton Grand Cru

Brewed by Southampton Publick House
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Southampton, New York USA

Orange in color. Smells like yeast and alittle funk. The taste was sweet. Had flavors of bananas , citruis, clove, and pepper. Alcohol burn finish.

Sampled at RBSG 2006 grand tasting. yeasty aroma. peach color with white head. taste is typical belgian with pepper, banana and clove.

750mL bottle, courtesy of growler. Clear orange amber, nice fluffy white head, strong lacing. Plenty of candy sugar, citrus, floral notes in a full nose. Bubble gum / cotton candy sugary goodness, honey, and mostly well-hidden alcohol. A ridiculously tasty, sugary beer, that would benefit from just a little bit more reserve.

Huge thanks to the random RBer who sent this to me as a result of my f’ed up trade with the cut and run, asshole, Siroy. Great deep golden body with a light cloudiness as well as a nice light white head. Very nice aromas typical of other Belgian beers, yeasty banana, grain and some sweet fruits. Very nice body, sweet fruits such as cherry and plumb, light malty accents with a light hop addition, very nice in the end. Sweet and lightly hopped ending, some thin malt accents. Overall a very nice beer.

Bottle: Gold, nice head and lacing. Nose of sweet honey and yeast, citrus, coriander and light orange peel, ginger and yeasty notes. The flavor is rich and balanced. Nice acidity. Creamy mouthfeel, light barny and maple. Some anise and malt, nice. Very rich and complex beer that makes you forget about rating and keeps you drinking.

Bottle Pours a hazy dark golden with a fleeting small white head. Spotty lacing. Aroma is the interesting Belgian spicy medley, orange and spicy hops. The flavor was also characterist of the belgian strong but I though milder and faint. Just as well for me. Quite lively carbonation and a light dry finish. A very drinkable Belgian for me. Thanks Buck Dich for sharing

Bottle Pours out a nice DARK orange topped with a nice tan head. It has some orange and yeast tast to it. Very GOOD I have started to like the Belgain Ale Thanks Bück Dich

Pours a sparkling dark orange that leaves a bubbly body foggy and inviting that has a clingy tan head. The nose is candied orange, wheat, grass, lemon peel, honey, tartness, fresh spicy hop aroma that is elegant and delightful. The taste starts malty, candy fruit, citrus rind bitterness that is rounded out by a clean palate cleansing from the carbonation. The finish is bitter and slightly boozy but that alcohal is smooth a little rough but it is quickly offset by the fruit backbone making this is a phenominal ale one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of having.
