Bottled. Golden colour with a mediumsized white head. Turns hazy once the last drops from the bottle goes in. Aroma is citrus fruits, spices, mild candy as well as some mild earthyness. Flavour is fruity, spicy, mildly yeasty as well as sugary and mildly wooden. Pleasantly balanced.

Bottle courtesy of Bu11zeye: Poured a lightly hazy golden color ale with a large pure white foamy head with some good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of spicy yeast with some nice fruity ester and some medium sweet malt. Taste is a nice enough mix between some spicy yeast and fruity ester with some well balance medium sweet Belgian malt. Body is average for the style with some good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very refreshing and well crafted.

Bottled. pours out in a hazy pale golden colour with dense white foam. Oranges, lemon-zest, mild pepper, coriander, all-spice and mild vanilla.. Very fruity flavour with pleasant tart elements of mild banana, Seville oranges, white pepper and coriander with touches of tart lemon. Rather clean but still elastic mouthfeel and low on yeast. Long well-balanced with of banana, tart oranges, pepper, minerals, mild herbs and maruenge. Nicely done!

Total train wreck, poured most of this one. Poured a light golden color small head and almost no lacing. ARoma was yeasty and grassy. Flavor was flat and all wrong for style, and it didn't taste good either. SH missed the boat on this one.

22oz bottle from SL. Appearance was golden with good carbonation, slight semi-filtered haze. The head was weak and so was the lacing, especially for a tripel. The aroma was yeasty, bready, slight grass, some candi sugar light fruit sweetness. The flavor followed suit and this was overall a completely uninspiring tripel, somewhat offensive with some alcohol, lightly acidic/sour apple notes in the finish as it warmed. Mouthfeel way light. This might perhaps be the worst of SH's offerings that I've had.

Unimpressive, from the very little head, no lacing pour to the no aroma smell to the watery mouthfeel to the flavor of watery fruits and over pepper. Just not great. Disappointment from a normally good brewer.

I acquired this bottle from Canal's in Burlington, NJ. I was very excited to finally try Southampton's tripel, but I have to admit I was left disappointed. Mind you, this beer was still decent but lack some to make it stand out against other superior tripels. The color look was nice, but the taste was missing something. Overall - not a repeat beer for me.

01.17.05 750ml bottle, trunk trade with Jimmack04, thanks buddy! Pale golden pour, clouded; medium white head is more fizzy than fluffy but settles to a thicker foam. Aroma is buttery, vanilla...like a pear dipped in cream cheese; lightly floral. Very unusual for a tripel. Sour up front, more vanilla, floral (perfumey), apricot skin. It’s got some of the flavors I’d hope for in a tripel, and some that seem totally out of place, yet nothing particularly assertive except that buttery thing. Somewhat sharp, rather astringent finish, grapeskin, not at all in keeping with the aroma and flavor up to that point. Pretty light body, but fluffy, effy, and full (like a meringue) -- not what I want in a tripel. Grassy, pineapple, wierd. Very sour. Maybe it’s infected, maybe it’s just odd. I could only drink half the bottle.

Hazy yellow body with an ok head. The aroma is sour fruits like apple with a bit of malt. The sourness in the flavor could be infection, but tastes like the sour profiles of intentionally sour beers like oud bruins or an extremely mild lambic.

Typical golden tripel pour. Huge white head of compact tiny bubbles. Thats probably where the typical part of this beer ends. It's a very subdued beer imo. Mild yeasty nose a very restrained spiciness that leaves it just hinting at things in the background. Very pleasant and easy drinking.No way you could tell it's 10% by the taste.
