Southampton Grand Cru
Thanks to tai4ji2x for this. Pours a hazy, light coppery orange with a 2-finger yellow head. Moderate lacing. The smell is yeast, sweet malts, orange peel with some butterscotch. Taste is really orangy, but different from a hoppy orange citrus in that it's sweeter. Then there's coriander, pepper, sweet caramel malts, yeast, apricot and a sort of earthy quality--all good things. Mouthfeel is full-bodied with a nice amount of carbonation. This is a drinkable beer. I'm happy to have had the experience. The ABV is very apparent at the end, but that's a good thing.
