Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: ruddy burnt orange/almost amber with a quickly dissipating fizzy head, no lace
Aroma: tons of juicy nectarines, sour and tart, flesh and skin then a lil bit of vinous activity with woody and clean grassy notes
Flavor: sour and tart initially then opens up with a lil bit of sweetness trying to balance the more I sip, subtle quick nectarine aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, this is a sipping beer (no sessionability whatsoever but that's okay, I get it), quick nectarine fleshy tart finish
Overall: an extremely nicely done nectarine sour ale more than worthy of coming back to if I could find again.

750ml bottle pours a mostly clear orange. Nose bursts with under ripe stone fruits, some lemon juice, natural wine. Tart. Soft though. Unripe stone fruits and a little bit of apricot. Good structure and body. 7 4 8 4 14

Bottle. Hazy orange color, small white head. Aroma was huge nectarine juice, some funky notes. Flavor was similar, like this was very much like a nectarine. Light woody notes. Mild, tart, not acidic.

750ml bottle pours out yellow color topped with a white head. Nose is nice big sweet stone fruit tart funk kick. Taste is more of the nice stone fruit notes so good, I love de garde stone fruit beers.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange gold with small white head. The aroma is nectarine flesh, lemon rind, oak. Thin body, stone fruit, light funk, oak, nice tartness, enjoyed this.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is fruity with a fairly strong nectarine note with hints of apricot and peaches. Lighter notes of pear, green grapes, lemon and tropical fruit. Light oak notes and hints of white wine. Light earthy, grassy, herbal phenolic notes. Pours a fairly clear, golden color with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes quickly to the edges and disappears. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a balanced blend of sweetness and acidity, neither overpowering the other. Light grain notes and faint bitterness. Moderately strong nectarine notes with lighter notes of other stone fruit. Hints of pear, lemon, lime, green grapes and tropical fruit. Light oak notes. Light earthy, herbal and grassy phenolic notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer. Solid fruity notes that add sweetness to counteract the moderate and well-rounded acidity. The oak notes add some nice complexity as do the background phenolics.
