Trillium Fated Farmer Asian Pear 2018 (750ml)

Made with freshly picked Japanese pears from local farmers. It has a juicy, woody flavor like peach or apple, followed by a firm fruity acidity and the gentle sweetness of pear. A superb product with a perfect balance of firm acidity and umami.

The Fated Farmer series embodies Trillium's concept of "connecting New England agriculture, brewing, and the communities that live there."

All of the wild ales in this series are made using malt from Valley Malt, which is made locally in Massachusetts.

The wine is fermented in a 500L puncheon barrel using local wild yeast and aged for about six months, after which freshly harvested fruit is added and the wine is allowed to undergo a secondary fermentation.

The theme is to explore what flavors can be created by combining natural agricultural produce with wild ale.

This wild ale is made using freshly picked Japanese pears sourced locally from Lookout Farm in Massachusetts, and has a slightly cloudy straw color with a crisp, light body.

The first thing you'll notice is the juicy flavor of peach and apple, along with a woody pear flavor, followed by a taut fruity acidity and a gentle pear sweetness.

This is an excellent product with an excellent balance of firm acidity and umami flavor.
