Crossover Blendery The Pershores - Yellow - 6.3%

Process: Golden ale brewed with malted barley, malted oats, malted rye and raw wheat. Spontaneously fermented and aged for 15 months in neutral french oak barrels. The beer was then moved onto frozen yellow pershore plums from the 2020 harvest. The fruit was from Styan Family Produce in Worcestershire. We cold soaked the plums in tank for 7 days prior to adding beer for flavour and colour extraction. The beer remained on fruit for 3 months before blending. Components from two other barrels were used in the final composition.

Conditioning: Packaged with a small amount of priming sugar for natural carbonation in the bottle. We do not add yeast at this point, or at any point in the process. Bottles laid to rest on side and conditioned until release.

Ingredients: Malted barley (pilsner), malted oats, malted rye, raw wheat, aged hops (whole leaf fuggles, whole lead Saaz & whole leaf strisselspalt), yellow pershore plums, water.
