Crossover Skimming Stone

Process: Pale wheat beer spontaneously fermented and aged for 8 months in a single 400-litre French oak barrel. The beer was moved onto de-stoned Pond’s Seedling plums in the tank. It was punched down daily until the refermentation had calmed. The beer was on fruit for 2 months. We then blended back with another barrel containing our base wheat beer before packaging. The plums were purchased from Cam Valley Orchard which is situated very close to the Blendery.

Conditioning: Conditioned with a small amount of priming sugar for natural carbonation in the bottle. Bottles laid to rest on their side. We condition our bottles for a minimum of 3 months. No yeast is added at this point, or at any point during the process.

Notes: Hazy golden pink. Plum and peach on the nose. Further stone fruits on the palate, with an earthy, vinous finish. Bright acidity and wholesome carbonation. Refreshing and spritely.

Ingredients: Malted barley (pilsner), malted wheat, raw wheat, Fuggles (whole leaf, 2014), Strisselspalt (whole leaf, 2015), pond’s seedling plums, water. Brewing season: 2019/2020
