This Brett Beer from Plan Bee Farm Brewery presents a masterfully rustic profile, weaving the wild, earthy funk of house Brettanomyces with the vibrant complexity of eight farm-grown peppers. Aromas of sun-dried hay and stone fruit collide with the vegetal snap of Jalapeño and the floral, tropical heat of Habanero and Ghost peppers. The palate is exceptionally dry and effervescent, showcasing a savory depth where the spicy capsaicin of Thai and Cayenne peppers balances against a delicate, grainy malt backbone. It concludes with a crisp, lingering warmth and a barnyard-inflected finish that highlights the brewery’s signature terroir-driven approach.
Appearance.Pale straw to light gold (SRM 3–5). Thick, frothy white head with moderate retention and light lacing. Slight haze, characteristic of farmhouse production.
Aroma.Moderate-high intensity. Initial funk of wet hay, barnyard, and earthy Brettanomyces. The pepper blend provides a complex secondary layer: vegetal Jalapeño, floral Habanero fruitiness, and a sharp, spicy Ghost pepper hint. Minimal hop or malt presence.
Taste.High attenuation leads to a bone-dry palate. Low grainy malt sweetness is quickly overtaken by earthy funk and a rainbow of pepper flavors. Jalapeño and Tabasco provide green, savory notes, while Cherry Bomb and Hot Portugal add a subtle fruity depth. Low bitterness allows the pepper heat to tingle without being overwhelming. Clean, spicy, and funky finish.
Mouthfeel.Light body with a crisp, refreshing texture. High carbonation creates a lively prickle on the tongue. Low alcohol warmth, though the capsaicin from the peppers provides a noticeable, pleasant heat. No astringency.
