750ml bottle that I purchased at last years RIS release at the publick house. Off comes the foil and after prying the cap off you notice this brew is seriously filled to the brim. Wow, no headspace in the bottle at all. Shared with friends and poured in a matching SH anniversary fishbowl. It appears a clear golden copper with 3 fingers of yellowish creamy tan head. Webby strings of lace stick to the glass and rising bubbles maintain the cap.
The smell is overall muted despite being allowed sufficient time to warm up. What does emit from the glass smells of apple juice mixed mildly with pepper. There is some yeast and fruit like apple and pear included to break things up.
The taste brings forth the apple juice mildly just like the aroma indicated. A mild peppery yeast character is present mixed with some mild tangy alcohol notes. As the brew gets warmer, a bit of fresh grainy quality comes out. Across the board, everything about this brew seems mild and easily approachable with no real distinct characteristics taking a lead role except for the apple. Not bad but not really something exciting or different to make this desirable.
This is a medium bodied brew with a smooth feel and light prickly carbonation. A solid arrangement that is very balance and enjoyable. I want to go on record here as acknowledging that even though it has been a year since I had this on draft, I vividly recall significant differences in this. Southampton brews are an entire world of difference between different servings types. (At least as far as bottle verse draft is concerned.) And I have noticed this via ther other offerings as well.

pours a transparent pale golden orange, very active bubbles with tons of tight white head. The nose is fruity, yeast notes behind with a touch of peppery spice. Lemon, peach, zesty. The taste is a bit sweeter, still has the bright golden fruits but a touch sugary. The zesty spice and yeast is underplayed but still nicely integrated. Te body is light, fairly dry. Assertive carb, a touch juicy in the palate.

Big thanks to callmemickey for sharing this one at last Saturday's Philly tasting. Serve din a mini tulip.
Pours a moderate golden color with a nice white head and some spotty lacing on the way down. The nose carries a bit of citrus and light spice. A touch of earth as well. The flavor has some light grain character along with a bit of citrus peel, spice, and a very light floral character. Body is light-medium with good carbonation and a semi-dry finish. This doesn't live up to Peconic, but is still quite good in its own right.

Thanks to shaebs99 for another great S'hampton hook-up.
Pours a tawny amber with some haze; high white head, dense and foamy. The smell is runny egg yolk, maple leaves, clover honey, something at once fishy and woody. The taste is raw herbal honey, earthy funk, grass, tree bark, copper. It's nicely carbonated, medium in body, with some strange notes of rubbing alcohol that are out of place. All in all a very tasty and drinkable beer, but those alcohol notes throw it off.

750ml Bottle
Appearance - Slightly hazy yellow colour with an above average size fizzy white coloured head. There is a low amount of carbonation showing and there is some faint lacing. The head lasted for 3-4 minutes before it began to dissipate.
Smell – Breads/grains, lemon zest, yeast, white grape juice
Taste & Mouth - The beer has an above average amount of carbonation. I can taste lemon juice and zest mixed with white grape juice and wheat. There is a lot of yeast flavour going on as well and a touch of funk. The beer finishes with a grainy slightly bitter aftertaste.
Overall – Another great beer from Southampton. It was along the same lines as their Saison Deluxe, but with less of a fruit profile and more funk/yeast.

Thanks to Sean for this... Light murky honey gold, very carbonated lots of head with good retention... Smells like a saison, musky, nice and steady on the style... Taste is very lemony, weird and off, musky flowers try to balance but don’t, white pepper bitter chemical finish
