Trillium Brewing Plum Fated Farmer

Fated Farmer is Trillium Brewing's series of barrel-fermented wild ales, built entirely on grain from Valley Malt and fruit from New England farms. The base beer for the Plum release is brewed from Valley Wheat and Valley Pilsner with aged hops, then fermented with Trillium's own native New England wild culture, a house blend of yeast and bacteria captured locally rather than bought from a lab. Fermentation happens in 500-liter oak puncheons, where the beer sits for five to seven months developing acidity and funk before it is refermented on freshly harvested plums from Lookout Farm in Natick, Massachusetts. It finishes at 6.9% ABV and pours an opaque, slightly hazy straw color. Trillium describes the aroma as wildflower honey and plum with a hint of lavender, and the palate as tart plum balanced by a crisp, lemony undertone, which is to say it drinks more like a dry fruit lambic than a sweet fruit beer. This is a 750ml bottle meant to be shared at the table with cheese, roast pork or anything with fat to cut through, and it will keep developing in a cool cellar if you can leave it alone.
