This beer was created using 10 different varietals of organic plums and pluots picked and processed throughout the 2021 harvest. All of the fruit was grown by the Collins family at their orchards in Selah, Washington.
These plums and pluots were blended across varietals in order to showcase the character of the land and work at Collins Family Orchards. The fruit was refermented with a blend of spelt, wheat, and einkorn saison chosen to highlight the varietals and then refermented to condition with organic cane sugar.

750ml (thx, Stew D.!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: hazy purple with a bit rose head. Aroma: very nice funk, plums, oak, jammy plums. Taste: along the same lines, a bit dry, nice funk and fruits. Overall: very nice.

750mL bottle, pours a clear dark amber reddish orange with a small white head. Aroma is full of deep plums and pluots, with plenty of bugs, and a touch of oak. Flavour is very juicy, with lots of plums and pluots, plenty of bugs, a little oak, and gentle acidity. Really nice, complex stone fruit character, integrated well with the bugs. Excellent.

Big fruit nose, mainly plum. Some strawberry on the finish. Balanced sweetness and acidity, really well-made. Balanced
