Double White Ale
Southampton Double White, 7% ABV:Beautiful, cloudy, golden appearance . . . Bananas, citrus, and clove in the nose. Malty upfront with flavors of citrus rind, spice, and bananas. Has a nice spritzy effervescence. Flavors dissipate slowly with heavy orange and lemon citrus, spice, and hints of bananas leading way to a nice crisp, semi-dry finish . . . Very complex . . . Very satisfying . . . This Double White Ale is much more complex and sophisticated than its traditional White Ale counterparts. Stylistically speaking, you wouldn't enter this White Ale into a White Ale category. It's much too large for the category. This is a thinking outside of the box White Ale that combines American creativity with the fundamental flavor profile of a traditional White Ale. This is a White Ale with attitude . . . Bad-ass attitude. Thanks, Phil!
