Cauldrife is an evocative dark barn beer that captures the essence of a New York autumn. Brewed with toasted wheat and fermented in oak with Plan Bee’s signature house culture, this wild ale presents a sophisticated interplay of rustic funk and toasted cereal notes. The use of 100% New York State ingredients yields a complex profile of earthy barnyard, wet hay, and subtle stone fruit esters typical of a Brett Beer. The oak aging imparts a delicate wood-derived structure, while the toasted wheat provides a nutty, bready depth. It finishes exceptionally dry and crisp, reflecting the high attenuation of the wild yeast.
Appearance.Deep mahogany to dark brown (SRM 22–30) with a persistent, tan, creamy head; slight haze is present from the toasted wheat and active house culture.
Aroma.Moderate-to-high intensity featuring rustic funk, barnyard, and damp earth. Deep bready and nutty notes from toasted wheat are complemented by a faint vanilla and wood-like oak presence and dark stone fruit esters.
Taste.Initial toasted bread and nutty malt flavors transition into a complex layer of earthy funk and red berry esters. Low hop bitterness allows the dry, oak-influenced finish to shine, accompanied by a light, non-lactic acidity and a clean aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high carbonation that provides a lively, scrubbing texture. A very slight tannic astringency from oak aging enhances the structured, bone-dry finish with minimal alcohol warmth.
