Damson in Distress??
4.7% ABV
Not sure if this is a b weisse or gueuze or what
Maybe check Jaega?? Damson and Lemon Sour made with a base of lager and wheat malts, to deliver a full body and smooth mouthfeel. We hopped the beer with the fruit-forward English hop Phoenix Leaf. Late fermentation, we added an abundance of sweet-sour damson fruits and lemon. https://shop.wildcardbrewery.co.uk/collections/specials/products/taurus-damson-sour-4-7
Im not sure if the hop used is Phoenix Leaf or just Phoenix ;
Phoenix's aroma notes are chocolate, molasses and spice and it is excellent for dark beers, stouts and porters. Phoenix is an unusual hop with high oil content making it a good alternative to a dual-purpose or bittering hop. Developed at the same time as Admiral, Phoenix is a seedling of Yeoman, developed at Horticulture Research International (HRI), Wye College in the UK and released for general cultivation in 1996.
I can't find any posts about Phoenix Leaf at all!
I could use philly sour again.
Lemon juice is referred to in another Wild Card recipe (Passion Fruit and Lemon Sour , Berliner Weisse base

I brewed a damson porter a couple of years ago, adding the damsons at the end of the boil. The method worked well with blackberries, but not so with the damsons.
There's a lot of pectin in damsons, apparently. The beer still hasn't cleared, 2 years on, and has never tasted very good.
A pectolase addition might have helped.

I've just done a rhubarb saison which has worked very nicely.
You have to think about how the flavours will meld; what will work with the character of the yeast you've chosen.
I'm not too sure what damsons taste of really....plummy?? That would probably work with the funky yeast.
I added my rhubarb to the fermenter after high krausen had subsided. I used half a kilo in 20 litres and the flavour has come through nicely, but isn't overwhelming
