look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Poured from a 750ml bottle into an oversized wine glass

Look: A hazy orange with a very thin white head that dissipates quickly.

Smell: Sweet and fresh nectarine hits the nose immediately. This fades into a buttery oak with some hay like funk. A little salty and mildly acidic.

Taste: Nectarine juice shocks the palate that fades to a buttery oak. This is punched aside by a lightly briny sour note that fades to more nectarine stone fruit notes on the finish.

Feel: Bright, clean, mildly acidic. No alcohol noted. Light carbonation.

Overall: A beautiful and clean sour. The brewery really knows what they are doing!

6/2019 Batch! Sweet and tart, fruity-yeasty funky, a hint of oak-barrel, and a nice and sweet, nectarine stonefruity nose on this one! Nice aromatics! Taste follows with a well-balanced, slightly briny, oak and under-ripe tart nectarine finish. The oak barrel is pretty well integrated at this point...I was just hoping for a little more jammy-sweet nectarine on the palate. Delicious!

Alright folks, here we are, the final BIF beer I received from @Eziel! It’s been a wild 6 months of hard to find beers, and we’re ending with the heaviest hitter of the bunch. This is currently the 5th highest rated Saison on BA and 52nd overall. Those are some impressive stats. Also, I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a beer fruited with only nectarine, it’s usually a blend. Let’s get into it

Pours an opaque orange gold with 2 fingers of creamy off white head that very quickly fizzes away to nothing and leaves no lacing

Sheesh, less than stellar appearance aside, this is bold in the nose, just super fruity and tart with a big funk too. I'm picking up on aromas of sweet nectarine, wet hay, tart apricot, sharp oak, lemon yogurt, wildflower honey, straw, and crackery malt

Oh man, the funk is even punchier in taste, but not in a way that's out of balance. On the front end of the sip I'm tasting tart peach, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, stone, sharp oak, nectarine, wet hay, honey, and lemongrass. The swallow brings notes of wet hay, stone, white wine vinegar, peach pit, nectarine, sharp oak, crackery malt, lemon yogurt, and light orange juice

A medium body pairs with moderate carbonation, resulting in a sharp and zippy beer. Finishes bone dry with a lovely balance of sour fruit and funk

Wow, this is one hell of a beer! It's highly complex, yet I could chug it. But why would I do that? I plan on nursing this bottle over the course of the night
