* Batch 1 (2011-2012) - Made with fresh prunes de Namur (Belgium), limited to 500 bottles and sold with a 1 bottle per person limit at the brewery only. The lambic spent 6 months on the fruit.
* Batch 2 (2012-2013) - Made with fresh Quetsches véritable d'Alsace (France) because there were no prunes de Namur available due to cold weather. Released at Toer de Geuze 2013 after 3 months in the bottle.
* Batch 3 (2013-2014(first batch) - Made with fresh Quetsche véritable d'Alsace (France).
* Batch 4 (2013-2014(second batch) - Made with frozen Quetsche véritable d'Alsace (France). This is the first batch made with frozen fruit.
* Batch 5 (2014-2015) - Made with half Quetsche véritable d'Alsace (France) and half Prune de Namur, harvested by Jean Binamé in Bois-de-Villers, near Namur (Belgium).
Pierre TIlquin described the differences between the two plum varieties in a post on Facebook: "They are very close, but the Quetsche véritable d'Alsace is a little bit more sweet than the Prune de Namur, which is a little bit more sour. The Prune de Namur is also a little bit smaller than the Quetsche véritable d'Alsace".<ref name=TilquinPlumVarities> Facebook, [[media:TilquinPlumVarities-FB.png|Quetsche Tilquin - batches 2014-2015 in progress]], September 11, 2014</ref>
