Southampton Altbier

Bottle. Clear copper body with thin head. Aroma of German hops. Pretty crisp and fizzy. On the dry side, with only slight caramel maltiness. Rugged, earthy hops. Bit of an RC Cola aftertaste going on. Pretty good.

I thoroughly enjoyed this beer. Pours a beautiful maroon body with no head. Aroma is that of caramel, roasted malts and nuts, and also citrus hops. Flavor reminds me of an English bitter. Palate is smooth, creamy and a nice crisp finish.

12 oz bottle pours a light brown with a thin white head. Cereal grains in the nose with a touch of flowers. Malty flavors. Light bitterness and slightly grainy malts that aren’t bad little more nutty and roasty than typically expected. Touch of earthy bitterness that lingers in the finish. Seems like an alt bier should be, the earthy bitterness is a little overdone. But overall drinkable and decent.

Neutral amber color; clear. Good start to the head, but it dies out to thin layer of minute bubbles. Light occasional, spotty lace Creamy and malty; light round bitterness in the background. This is a smooth beer with a creamy body and a fine carbonation, like an expensive champagne. Mostly malty, but there is a nice hop kick in the swallow. This is an easy-to-drink beer that is true to style.

12oz bottle as an extra. Pours a lightly hazed deep copper color with a big frothy off white head. Nose was big on roasted malts and a little skunky. Taste is mostly again roasted malts with a kind of nutty finish. Not really sure what to expect from this style, decent brew overall.

Draft at redlight redlight. This can be a refreshing beer, but there is something about it that doesn’t sit just right with me. It pours a very light almost thin amber. The nose has a very malty almost like stale bread. The flavor is similar. It is crisp but a little off.

very sweet, simple and malty. not bad for a chugging contest. Bottle at 2nd Annual Treasure Coast Beerdest in Ft. Pierce, Fla.
