Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: orange to copper color with a quickly dissipating head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: tart and sweet nectarine fleshy and skin accents, vinous, vinegar, subtle grassy hops and citrusy tones
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a sour to tart sort of way with a vinous sweet edge underneath; finishes with the nectarine sweet and tart notes
Texture: medium bodied, this is a sipper; plenty of sour to tart vibes acting harsh to the tongue
Overall: nicely done fruited sour ale worthy of more pours.

Bottle, many thanks to Thomas Schneider! Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is fresh nectarine, yoghurt, heavy barrel funk, quite tart, a bit farty. Taste is heavily sour, nectarine skin, wood, tannic. Medium carbonation, oily mouthfeel. Very nice, but also very sour, as many of their Farmer's Reserves.

At a tasting, almost no head, quite hazy and a bit intense yellow color, aroma of nectarine, pits, almond and feral hint, flavor of nectarine, light vinegar sourness and mineral hints. Very nice easy and enjoyable.
