Thanks to Steve and Bruisin' Ales for helping me get this beer to my house.

A fantastic looking beer that seems to leap out of the cork and caged bottle. A very effervescent pour brings out bright canary yellow colors, a loosely knit head formation that retains for ever, and lively bubbles that provided much entertainment. Think Duvel.

Fruity and spicy aromas take the lead while the simple malt backbone provides a light bready sweetness. Complexity from herbal hops to spicy currants and black pepper tickle the nose.

Sharp and spicy fruits, pepery phenols, and soft maltiness take the beer into super hero status. Fruits of berries, currants, pears, apples, white grapes, and appricots give the beer a big burst of flavor and sweetness. White pepper, cinamon, curraco, ginger brings out the lively fruits and offsets the softer malt taste. Crisp and clean malt flavors offer a little sweetness but doesn't interfere with the play of the spiciness and fruitiness. Extremely delicate and powerful.

The spiciness provides an interesting assault on the entire mouth with some prickling, numbing, and warmth. Soon after, the malt sweetness becomes soothing, while the carbonation lifts the liquids from the tongue. The beer seeming evaporates in the mouth like cotton candy confections. This leaves just a memory of fruit, spice, and alcohol behind.

A very good beer that avoids too much sweetness and dryness. Great balance and power. This has to be among the best of all Saisons.

I must've gotten a bad bottle because mine had basically zero carbonation. Everyone else says theirs was highly carbonated. Not sure if it is the age, but it shouldn't lose carbonation after only a year in the bottle.

From 08/08/15 notes. Big thanks to Dave for giving me this one. 750ml bottle into my Duvel tulip.

Pours a hazy golden color with two fingers plus of fluffy white head and moderate carbonation. Lots of yeast, bready malts, spices, pepper, pears, and fruity malts. Nice mix of fruit and spice. Medium body and moderate carbonation.

Overall a good saison; very much like a Belgian. Worth checking out.

L: Pours hazy gold under a 1” white foam collar that recedes to a thick film that leaves intricate lace. S: Earthy, herbal, fruit, slightly over ripe fruit. T: A well rounded yeast driven palate with an earthy fruitiness, apricot to plum flavors, light malts. F: They nail the saison texture and body with medium to medium light body and above average, very soft carbonation. O: An excellent, well prepared saison.

1pt. 9.4oz. - corked and caged brown bottle - label dated 11/13/2014

Southampton Saison Deluxe has a [light] cloudy golden body and atop sits an off-white fluffy and bubbly 2-finger head that held very well - a nice looking ale. As I consumed the Ale foamy lacing clung to the sides of my tulip glass. The nose was light, fresh and clean. The smell was dominated by fruit and also peppery spice and lemon was noted. The taste begins with the flavor of pears, oranges, and peaches followed by a peppery spice. Also, the flavor of apples and lemons are present with a crisp and dry finish. Mouth feel is light-medium to medium bodied, smooth on the palate with a generous amount of carbonation.

Saison Deluxe is my first brew from Southampton Publick House and I am impressed!! I am becoming a big fan of the Saison/Farmhouse style of ale.
