Nectarine Bu

Eh, I'm partial to Nectarines. I want to say Nectarine Premiere was better, but probably not by much.

Nectarine Bu had a bit more funk to it, which typically would be great, but de Garde bugs aren't usually a 5 star bug. With de Garde, I want more juice and less complexity.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Pours like orange juice. Cloudy as all hell
Big stone fruit on the nose with just a hint of sharpness
Great balance of sharp acid and fruit on the palate - tons of nectarine flavor packed in
Light crisp and refreshing feel

Overall an extremely good beer - shame I don't live next door!

From the bottle: Beautiful clear orange, bubbly, small white head. Smell and taste are both a wonderful balance of fruit and acidity. There is a ton of nectarine flavor balanced by just enough acidity to make the fruit pop even more without being too sweet. Complex but crushable. Just about as good as a Bu can get in my opinion!
