Bottle shared at my (post-)10,000th rating celebration tasting at Dancing Camel. Cloudy purple. Aroma of berries, yogurt, manure, pickled vegetables. Great tart flavor full of berries, lacto, a bit acidic in the throat. Medium-bodied. Really good and refreshing.

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy, hazy gold with a white head. Tart apricot aroma. Flavor is mildly mouthwrenching tart/sour with a mix of ripe and unripe apricot. Very astringent; quite pleasing.

Bottle courtesy of rlgk. Pours hazy yellow with a frothy white head that leaves some sparse trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is fruity with crackers, lemon juice, peaches, nectarines, white grapes, hay, minerals, dry wood and lemon zest. Taste is sour, fruity and tiny funky. Mouthfeel is dry, slightly tart and medium bodied. Finish is slightly sour with crackers, lemon juice, peaches, apricots, nectarines, white grapes, dry wood, hay, minerals, barnyard and lemon zest. Enjoyable stone fruit saison. Almost get some fresh Fou’Foune wibes. Tasty! --- Beer merged from original tick of Beatitude Peach & Nectarine on 12 Feb 2016 at 20:41 - Score: 8. Original review text: Enjoyable stone fruit sour saison. Almost get some fresh Fou'Foune wibes. Tasty!

Tap at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours a light, hazy perry color with a slight white head. Aroma is tart acidic fruit. Could be pineapple. Med body. Flavor seems more citrus than pineapple, but there seems a little pineapple. Tart, lightly sour. Cleansing. Nice.

Bottle pours with a cool looking pinkish copper body that supports a white head that has a pinkish hue. The aroma offers up woody berry tartness and then thin yeasty notes. The taste delivers tart berries, full up berry juice and then mild yeasty tartness. Toward the finish it gets lightly sour amid all the tartness. Nice.

Capped 750 shared by Marcus. Pours hazy light gold with a transient white head. Thanks to the "sour" it seems more apricot than passion to me. Med body, almost. It is tart and fruity. Now it seems more like passion. A bit mouth puckering. I’d call it a sour. Good stuff.
