Bottle thanks to Ian. Pours a cloudy dark orange ruby with small off white head. The aroma is plum skin, stone fruit, yeast, oak. Medium body, yeast, pluots, oak, balanced acidity, enjoyed this.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Aroma is fruit forward with lots of pluot notes. Light oak notes and a bit of herbal funk. A bit of a buttery note in the aroma. Pours a reddish purple color with medium sized, medium thick, pinkish head that recedes to a small film that lingers. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a light acidity with faint sweetness and light grain note. Low bitterness and faint alcohol note. Fairly strong pluot notes with nice lighter notes of oak. A touch of spelt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer but the buttery note that is in the aroma and continues a bit into the flavor is less than ideal. The fruit is really nice and definitely in the forefront carried by light malt and spelt notes with a touch of oak.

Getting a touch of butyric, especially on the nose. Lots of fruits, soft and sweet on the palate. A bit cleaner on the palate than the aroma but not my favourite.

Bottle at Farmhouse Fest 2019, pours a hazy pinkish amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright honey, some tart stone fruits, and a little oak. Flavour is loaded with honey, tart stone fruits, some red wine notes, and a little wild yeast. Wonderfully well-integrated. Excellent.
