May 25, 2009 Bottle. Aroma started off rather off for me, like some Tropicana Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice, though eventually biscuit malt and the listed spices arise. Flavor was better from the start with lots of the orange peel, sweet biscuit malt, maybe more like pastry even than biscuit, toffee, again with increasing presence from the coriander and star anise to balance what is otherwise quite a sweet beer. Result is quite smooth, drinkable, interesting, and, well, good.

May 24, 2009 Butterscotch overload, don’t mind it in small doses but can’t drink an entire beer that way...

Apr 29, 2009 How do I not have a rating for this yet. I love this beer. Beautiful murky golden color. Aroma of spices and sugar and fruit. Taste is rich and smooth with a bunch of spices, not lingering and not overspiced and alcohol is well hidden.

Apr 8, 2009 Orange-amber in colour with a thin white head, light lacing. The aroma is spicy, some yeast, lots of berries and light alcohol. The flavour is quite spicy, juicy, some alcohol, berries and apples. Hot mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes fruity, warming with a lingering sweetness.
The sweetness picks up lots at the end but this is aging very fast.
750ml bottle obtained in a trade with jah noth, thanks Dan.

Mar 25, 2009 Bottle generously shared by wetherel with Katie at a light kickback tasting at our place in Del Mar. Hazy golden color with a bubbly white head. Aroma is subtle candy sugar and butterscotch with a touch of coriander and light fruit. Nice sweet malty base with notes of apricot and banana. Some diacetyl in the finish with a nice alcohol warmth to top it off. Medium bodied, very drinkable. Thanks John!

Mar 19, 2009 Whew. Southampton can seriously make damn good beers. Dare I say great? Fine...great beers. No exception here. This one covered all the bases very well. The aroma was herbalicious, with orange zest, bread, cloves, wet leaves and just more spice. The color is light orange/medium gold in color with a nice fluffy 3-finger thick cap. Medium carbonation tickles the tongue, but never harsh. The flavor matched the aroma profile note for note, and the alcohol was a little more boisterous on the tongue than on the nose. But wow, a really enjoyable beer. If you can get Southampton on a regular basis, consider yourself fortunate.
