Southampton Double White Ale

I've seen Southhampton Double White on tap at a few other places and finally tried it out today at Park West Tavern in Ridgewood. I had a bad experience with Southampton's IPA back in February and have been reluctant to try their beers, but figured I'd turn over a new leaf and I'm very glad that I did. This double white ale poured a goldeny yellow and had a very interesting smell of lemons and bananas. Taste was sweet at first with the banana being the predominant flavor, and it finished very smooth with a slight lemony aftertaste. It also had a nice wheat taste to it throughout and wasn't overly fruity or sweet at all. A very drinkable beer that is great for the summer. I'd highly recommend giving this one a try, and as an added bonus it's 6.7% ABV!
