For this Pruim, we macerated Opal plums from De Kleinaart in Limburg - a small orchard with organic plums. Maceration happened on young lambik, and blended with three-year old lambik. The lambikken originated from two different barrels and five different brews. We macerated for almost six months, rendering the weighted average age to more than 22 months. The final fruit proportion is 477 grams of plums per litre of Pruim. Almost 60% of the cereals used while brewing, were sourced in our Cereal Collective. 100% 3 Fonteinen.

A 750ml corked and caged bottle, blend°22, season 22/23, bottled on 5th January 2023. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A cloudy orangey pinkish colour, with a thin white head that dissipated quickly, while leaving only sparse lacing.
Aroma: Tart, plum, lemon zest, grapefruit rind, a touch of minerals, and some funky, plastic notes at the end.
Taste: Sour, tart, plum, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, minerals, funk, and light notes of damp wood.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.
Overall: Enjoyable with a good balance of plum and citrus.
