750mL bottle drunk 9/20/17.
Fully hazy, despite a long, cold rest in my fridge. Bright apricot-peach-golden, well-carbonated but with a fleeting, yellow-tinted head showing no retention.
Much like my first run-in with De Garde (apricot gose), this thing just pours forth the authentic, fresh, perfectly extracted/expressed fruit. White wine, tropical notes, tart juices, tons of funky, mineral-rich pit and in place of the sometimes high acetic character from De Garde, you have a wonderfully juicy, tropical Brett character that joins forces with the fruit to really push the nose over the top.
Soft and malty texture with ultra-fine, tight carbonation and high attenuation with excellent fruit integration and a juicy, pit and skin-heavy expression. More Brett than anything, with only trailing sourness from the lactobacillus. I've had my fair share of excellent fruited beers from Hill, Jester King, Side Project and the like, but De Garde has to be number one when it comes to this sort of thing.

Milky/murky, keg not settled? Umami mealy aroma with peach marmalade. Thick viscous mouthfeel, sparky, fruit purée, like a Frucht nectar Schorle . the nectarines are nice, but the sponge cake feel is weird. Conflicted.

750 ml bottle, thank you very much for the share Adam! Cloudy orange color, no head. The aroma is in sanely juicy. Tangerine forward with a mild peach hint. Citrus rind. The flavor is really exceptional. Juice, citrus rind with a good amount of tart pucker. Yet the bold fruit "juicy" character makes this again... Exceptional. White wine is pretty noticeable. I have never had a Sour ale quite like this, ever. Wow!

75CL. Acquired in a trade. not sure which batch this is. Lots of sediment in the bottle, a very dark orange. no head but a fizzy sprite like bubble thing going on after pouring. Smells insane. just lovely nectarine, grapefruit, orange juice aroma. fantastic aroma. It’s super insane sour. like this is so sour it hurts but that initial citrus acidic bite is so damn good. possibly my favorite degrade so far i just wish it wasn’t so sour.
