Pale, pear-juice colour. Thin head. Big nectarine aroma...that is just super bright and juicy. Tart, with again that bright fruit. Well-balanced. Even after several years of aging, this has exceptional fruit character.

750mL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with thin white head. Aroma is packed with nectarines, saison yeast, and a touch of oak. Flavour is quite similar, bugs, fruity juice up front, punchy and wild on the finish. Lingering acidity. Mouthfeel is a bit oily. Very juicy saison, quite nice but the finish is a bit weak.

750ml (thx, Josh!) @ Sales Force. Appearance: cloudy blonde with a white head, Aroma: loads of nectarines as well as peaches and apricots, some tartness. Taste: bold and juicy, but it mostly tastes like a moderately sour drink with almost no fruit or rustic notes. Finishes with tartness and a very light fruity character. A bit of acetone. Overall: ok, probably too old, unfortunately.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Cloudy yellow with small white head and a bit of sediment. Lots of juicy nectarine, soft and creamy, looks ugly, but tastes good.

750mL bottle, pours an opaque peachy golden with a small white head. Aroma is dominated by the nectarines -- super juicy and pithy -- with plenty of oak and a nice buggies; that's some pretty strong nectarines from being this old. Flavour is very juicy and acidic, with tons of juicy nectarines, some oakiness, gentle bugs, and lots of juicy, acidic finish. Very good.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with small white head. The aroma is nectarine flesh, floral, brett, oak. Thin body, tart nectarine, lemon, oak, balanced, enjoyed this .
