We age pFriem Nectarine Golden Ale in fresh Sauvignon Blanc barrels, before adding perfectly ripened Flavortop Nectarines, grown right down the road by our friends in Maryhill. After another six months of aging, the resulting aromas of marmalade, graham cracker and citrus zest, and notes of peach nectar, cantaloupe and Sauvignon Blanc practically leap from the glass.

UGH, SO GOOD. Legit like biting into a fresh nectarine, I think the sauv blanc barrels added some magic twist to it, cause it's too good. I can't tell where the dry wine kicks in so it must be blended into the nectarine magic flavor.

375 c&c from Tavour. Pours translucent pale gold with a very transient white head. Aroma of nectartine - almost like the light fuzz on the skin. Med body. Flavor is tart nectarine with some white grape. A little non-musty wood. I suppose fruity/tart/bitter is a fair description. Tastes nice.

*Nectarine Golden Ale 6.9% Sauvignon Blanc BA Pour at Foudres Uni, 2 oz. a very pale gold with a wheat tart acidic lemon aroma. The beer has a light crisp body and a tart tangy nectarine flavor with heapings of wheat. Not terribly complex but solid. 3.6-7 ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
