Plan Bee Farm Brewery

This Brett Beer from Plan Bee Farm Brewery showcases a sophisticated wild fermentation profile, elegantly integrated with farm-grown nasturtium flowers. The sensory experience is defined by a bright, rustic funkiness that yields to the distinctively peppery and floral aromatics of the blossoms. The fermentation character introduces layers of stone fruit and dried hay, while the nasturtiums provide a unique savory complexity. Highly attenuated and notably crisp, the beer concludes with a sharp, tart finish and a lingering spicy snap. It is a masterful expression of terroir-driven wild ale, balancing botanical intensity with a lean, effervescent structure.

Appearance. Pale straw to golden (SRM 3-5) with a light, persistent haze typical of farmhouse brewing. Pours with a moderate white head that shows fair retention and leaves fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by wild yeast character featuring barnyard funk, wet hay, and aged leather, complemented by the specific floral and spicy perfume of nasturtiums. Subtle notes of lemon zest and green apple esters are present, with virtually no hop aroma and a neutral, crackery malt backbeat.

Taste. The palate leads with a crisp, lactic-like tartness and immediate peppery spice from the flowers. Malt flavor is minimal, resembling sourdough or wafer. Brettanomyces contributions provide earthy complexity and dried apricot fruitiness. Bitterness is low, allowing the acidity and peppery botanical oils to provide the primary structure. The finish is bone-dry and exceptionally clean.

Mouthfeel. Light body with a prickly, high carbonation that enhances the perceived dryness. Alcohol warmth is negligible. The beer is highly attenuated with no residual silkiness, finishing with a slight, refreshing astringency from the floral additions.
