Just as the name implies, this beer is like biting into the namesake juicy stonefruit and chasing it with ice cream. Nearly a metric ton of fruit was used, paired with milk sugar for a creamy mouthfeel and a touch of vanilla to complete the package.

Price: $7.99 at Final Gravity in Roseville, CA
Appearance: 4 - a pleasant, bright orange. No head at all.
Nose: 5 - kapow! Right in the face with the nectarine. Smells sweet rather than sour.
Taste: 5 - I really like this. The sourness hits almost lazily in the form of tiny bubbles, while the intense fruit attacks up front.
Mouth: 4 - thickens as you chew on it. The bubbles are so tiny it seems almost flat.
Overall: 5 - this is a really fun and tasty beer. Might have to find some more from these guys.
Cheers!

Nectarine Dream pours a muted and hazy orange color with a small, white head that fades leaving very little lacing. The smell is tart, yet sweet with a stone fruit including nectarine and peach with just a whiff of vanilla. The taste is smooth and creamy, a very easy drinking sour as the lactose cuts the tartness. A nice full flavor of nectarine with a slight vanilla finish that is touch acidic.

Sweet and tart, peach/nectarine and vanilla aromatics on this one! Taste follows with some tart nectarine sweetness that morphs into a mildly acidic finish. Nice mouthfeel because of the milk sugar, but it is a little thin/not creamy enough for my palate.
