This Pruim features the Vroege Tolse, an old plum varietal, hand-picked by our team in the summer of 2021 in the small plum orchards of Willy, a retired schoolteacher. With a yield of only 250 kilos, this is a small batch blend. The plums macerated on a single oak barrel for a good four months. We used two- and three-year old lambics for macerating and blending, originating from two barrels and two brews.

Peachy-plum colour, opaque. Thin head. This one's fairly tart, lots of stone fruit. Some tannins, but the sharp acidity is pushing the envelope for me, but the fruit isn't bad.

Poured from 750mL bottle (Season 21/22; Blend No. 5). Hazed dark pastel orange with small white head. Mild plum, subtle funk, hit of acidity, needs a little bit more complexity, but decent.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma has deep juicy plums, some spiced notes, gentle funk, and a little petroleum. Flavour is juicy and yet dry, with lots of tart, spiced, juicy plums, followed by gentle funk, and moderate acidity. Juicy, dry, tart finish. Not one of their top ones, but very good.
