🌍 United Kingdom · Wild Fruit Ale · One of 1 Wild Fruit Ales in hopIQ

Mr Suit is a wild fruit ale from Burning Sky Brewery, based in the rural East Sussex village of Firle in southern England. Fermented with a mixed yeast culture and aged on redcurrant purée, it pours a hazy blush-tinged amber with a soft, evanescent head. The aroma is delicate yet complex — fresh redcurrant tartness mingles with earthy farmhouse funk, subtle floral notes, and a gentle brett character. On the palate, bright red-fruit acidity leads, balanced by a light body and quietly complex wild fermentation qualities. The finish is clean and refreshingly tart, with a lingering berry dryness that rewards slow sipping. A refined, countryside expression of British wild ale craft.

Taste

Entry is led by lively red-fruit acidity that sits cleanly on the palate. The body remains light and elegant, allowing wild fermentation complexity to unfold—neither aggressive nor shy. Tannin-like dryness from the fruit purée balances the slight tartness, creating quiet refinement.
