Acquired in a trade. Enjoyed in Hill Farmstead Stemware. Cloudy dark gold. Really nice lacing. Smells tart and sweet like fresh peaches. Sort of a candied sugar smell as well. Wow. Nice sort of muted tart acidic taste. Very refreshing, hints of peach, pineapple. apricot and raspberries. Very bready dry belgian finish. This is a solidly enjoyable beer. Another win from Perennial!

Bottle @ Brad’s house Minneapolis, courtesy of jcnielsen. Thanks Justin! Pours a bit hazy, golden orange appearance with a white head. Very unique, herbal, berry, plum, quite of spicy yeasty, skin of zesty fruit skin aroma. Pretty tangy, mildly tart, well carbonated, red grape, plum, light tannin, peach/orange fruity flavor with a dry, lingering pluot finish. Bubbly, well carbonated mouth feel.

Belgian Beer Fest Boston. OK, I wouldn’t recognize a pluot if I tripped over one. But this beer is much more fruity than your average tripel, with plums in the nose and taste. Not overly sweet. Very nice.

750 ml bottle. Body is a slightly hazy gold with lots of foamy head. Aromas are interesting, but a little understated. Kind of a doughy bread base with a little bit of plum fruit and a hint of grain dust and honey. There’s just a hint of a tart edginess in the nose, and it comes through fairly strong on the flavor end of things. Flavor is a little like plum peels or the flesh nearest the pit on a slightly under-ripe nectarine... It’s a very interesting brew and hides its abv particularly well.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellowish gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a nice sweet grain and Belgian spice note with a really nice plum note. Flavor has a nice plum note with a hint of tartness and a backing note of sweet grain and light Belgian spice and yeast.
