Bon Chretien presents a sophisticated sensory marriage between New York terroir and rustic fermentation. This Brett Beer opens with a vibrant bouquet of NY grown pears, offering floral and sweet orchard notes that intertwine with the signature funk of the Plan Bee house culture. Aromas of sun-dried hay and earthy leather lead into a palate defined by high attenuation and a crisp, bone-dry profile. The inclusion of oak provides a structural backbone, adding subtle woody tannins that complement the pear skin flavors. Effervescent and bright, it captures the essence of a wild orchard with a clean, lingering fruit finish.
Appearance.Pale straw to light gold (3–5 SRM). Slightly hazy with a persistent, fine-beaded white head that leaves delicate lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of fresh Bartlett pears and floral esters. The house culture contributes a complex rustic funk characterized by wet hay, dusty earth, and a hint of lemon zest. Low cracker-like malt presence with a touch of vanillin from oak aging.
Taste.The initial impression is bone-dry and effervescent. Dominant flavors of ripe pear flesh and slightly tannic pear skins are balanced by a mild, earthy Brett character. Hop bitterness is low, allowing the wild fermentation acidity and fruit to lead. The finish is remarkably clean and dry with a lingering orchard fruit aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation. No significant alcohol warmth. A very light, pleasant astringency from the oak and pear skins enhances the refreshing nature of the beer.
