Nectar Neuf

Purchased via Tavour. No date on bottle but seems to have been bottled in December of 2025. The style can handle the time. Pours is hazy and pale straw in color. Almost no foam on the beer: that big bubbled stuff that leaves no lacing, having nary any retention. You can hear the bubbles pop, similar to champaign. Aroma light lemon with barnyard funk. Hay. Taste starts to really ramp up on the senses. Lemon, barnyard, tart, and hay are all there but oak begins to show. Fruity with strong citrus. Acidic finish that lingers. Effervescent. Dry to the bone. No bitterness but a lingering barn yard, lemon tartness beautifully. Unfortunately it is hard to get a good local wild ale. Getting gouged by Tavour hurts. But, this beer really brings it. Complex, yet seemingly simple. The beer brings you back, which is a pleasant need on a 90 degree with high humidity. I would have liked more foam but if that is the worse thing you can say about a beer: good beer! I would have this again. Enjoy!
