What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “A rich, sweet plum aroma with a light touch of caramelized sugar and a gentle clean sour backbone.”

Flavor: “Light to moderate lactic sourness with a light touch of acetic. The fruit shines through nicely and adds some richness reminiscent of both the flesh and skin of the plum. Finishes with a slight graininess and a lingering tartness.”

Overall: “Great expression of the plum on this beer. The base sour has hints of funkiness but is overall soft and mellow. Try this beer paired with a fruity dark chocolate or crème brûlée.”

What the Brewers Say

“A mixed fermentation beer aged on 6,600 pounds of plums for 5 months. It bursts with the fresh aroma of ripe plum skins. It is medium bodied and fairly dry with a soft lemon-tart acidity and flavor of plums, lemon, and pear.”
