beer_name: Southampton IPA
text: Poured from 12 oz bottle into nonic pint glass. A - Slightly hazy golden with 2 finger head. Receded to decent white cap, some lacing, though less than I'd expect for the style. S - Mainly floral and citrus hops, along with a strange briny character. Different, but pleasing. T - Floral and citrus hit upfront with a touch of sweet malt. Briny character is evident mid palate along with faint malt. Mid to late-palate an intense bitterness kicks in which lasts through a long finish. M - Medium to light bodied with moderate carbonation. Carbonation should've been higher considering the insane bitterness. D - I would definitely not have more than one of these; in fact I am questioning whether or not I'll get through this glass. Very unbalanced, and the bitterness gets in the way a lot. Otherwise the flavor is great, and I probably would love it if not for the unnecessary bitternes.
