Southampton Cuvee Des Fleurs
Poured into a red wine glass. A: Cloudy apricot with a small and fizzy bone tinted head. The head falls quickly to a thin film and leaves no lace. S: Hyper floral in the nose. Rose, hibiscus, lavender, mint and honey interplay nicely. Alcohol adds a light rush to the nostrils. T: Tastes very much like it smells. A honey sweetness is followed by a heavy dose of fresh flowers. Bitterness is moderate and adds some pepper and clove. Finishes with an alcohol warmth and lingering herbal flavors. M: The body is quite light and slippery on the tongue. The carbonation feels about right. D: This beer is a very creative creation. It's a most excelent pickup and worth a revisit down the road.
