COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Violet is a Belgian-Style tripel brewed with pluots, a fruit that is a cross between a plum and an apricot. Although Perennial likes to use local produce, for this beer and exception was made, as pluots provide a distinctive flavor both refreshing and complex. The beer’s light to medium body disguises the ABV and allows you to explore the marriage between the pluots and hops. Violet’s fruiter notes are quelled with a dry finish that lends itself nicely to light summer dishes.

Love this one. Wasn’t a huge fan when it was first released but somehow the pluot notes have gotten stronger and really shine on a very delicate beer. Very tasty.
