What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Amazing aroma! Massive light stone-fruit aromas, slightly sweeter than peach, not as tart as apricot. Lemon and citrus. Big nectarine, sweet and floral, peaches pears.”
Flavor: “Tart sourness combined with a sweet fruitiness of nectarine with citrus notes (lemon and tangerine). Good carbonation that helps reveal the subtle under flavors. Very sour. The tartness caught me off guard given the aroma. Finishes by wicking the moisture from your palate, leaving an acidic tingling.”
Overall: “Nice big fruity nectarine flavors and acidity, but still very drinkable. Though a bit sour for some tastes, the balance with the fruit and the funk is well-done. This beer is definitely intriguing.”
What the Brewers Say
“We started with our Milk the Funk Collaboration #2 Saison base and fermented it with our house microbes. We aged it for 5 months in French oak pinot barrels before adding 4 pounds of fresh California white nectarines per gallon and refermented in the bottle for 4 months.”
