🌍 United Kingdom · Farmhouse Ale · One of 9 Farmhouse Ales in hopIQ

Hiver is a winter seasonal farmhouse ale from Burning Sky Brewery, based in the East Sussex village of Firle in the United Kingdom. True to its French name meaning 'winter,' this rustic ale embodies the colder months with a warm, inviting character. It pours a hazy, golden-amber hue with a soft, creamy head. The aroma offers earthy farmhouse funk alongside gentle spice, dried herbs, and a hint of stone fruit. On the palate, it delivers a satisfying balance of bready malt warmth, subtle yeast-driven complexity, and a refined rustic character typical of the Sussex countryside's artisan brewing tradition. The finish is dry and lingering, with soft bitterness and a pleasant earthiness that makes it a perfect fireside companion.
