Southampton Saison Deluxe

Brewed by Southampton Publick House
Style: Saison
Southampton, New York USA

Fading slowly, a fluffy and cottony looking white head adorns a hazy orange body. Superb retention. Aroma is of coriander, fresh yeast, lemon cake. Ever changing subtleties are interesting. Light, fresh and resilient nose with notes of candy sugar that is over the top, along with slight orange and corn husk. Too much orange and sugars for my liking, not enough earthiness. Flavor seems much more balanced but far too apparent sugariness a la the tripel style really damage it’s chances as a serious quaffer. The sugar seems to keep other flavors of bready malts and hops at bay; is unapreciated. Finishes soft and long. Warming does let forth some pleasant aromas. Palate is medium, velvety.

thanks nhorween. probably the best saison i’ve ever had. massive head. pretty mild but real flavorful. sour, no metal. not super saisony, but eminently drinkable. i kept trying to think of things to write but i don’t think i’ve had enough saisons to really pick out subtleties.

Cloudy golden, huge head, good lacing and retention. Aroma is spiced with grassy hops, bready malts. Medium to light bodied, very drinkable.

750 ml bottle. Pours out a light yellow color with a huge white head on it. It smells like grass, hops, oak, musty, and sugars. Taste is sweet and bitter with some citrus notes and grassy flavors. Pretty interesting, and damn good actually. Should hold up to a couple of years of aging, but I dont know why you would age it, because its good as it is.

Cloudy straw color yielding a rocky white head. Aroma spicy, floral, reminiscent of lemons, also a sweet haylike smell. Light, well carbonated palate. Taste has a sharp, almost tart start, and slightly bitter with an earthy, grassy finish. There’s a sourness in the finish that wasn’t entirely pleasant. Pretty good, but tastewise it wasn’t up to par.

Nice golden color with a big fluffy white head. Great smell in this one. Very saison-ish. Citrus fruit, spices, orange. smells very fresh. I think maybe a little too much carbonation in this one even though I know saisons are like that, but I though this one had a little too much. It was still pleasant though but I liked the smell better than the taste. Citrus fruit, coriander, orange peel, other spices were included in the finish. Tone down the carbonation a little and I think it improves. Maybe let in sit for a year or two.

Pours hazy orange with a massive off-white head. The head on this beer kept growing and wouldn’t slow down, it was regenerating faster then it could fade away. Light spicy nose with a clove character and light straw and hops. Flavor had a really bitter kick for a saison, good dryness and fizzy finish. I was hoping for a bit more wild yeast funkiness to it, but mostly this beer sided with the cleaner belgian yest, no sourness or other funkiness. Easy drinking tasty beer, but I was hoping for a little more of a unique side to it, nothing really made this memorable.

(750ml bottle) Pours a cloudy yellow body with a huge white head. Aroma of orange peel, mustiness, lemon, florals, and toasted malt. Flavor of lemon, yeast, and floral hops with a soft mouthfeel.
