Petite
Petite from Burning Sky Brewery in Firle, East Sussex, is a delightfully understated mixed-fermentation farmhouse small beer that punches well above its modest weight. Pouring a pale, hazy straw gold with a fine white head, it carries the hallmark character of the Sussex countryside operation's barrel programme — time spent in white wine barrels lends gentle vinous complexity, soft acidity, and a whisper of oak. The aroma offers lemon zest, white grape, and a touch of earthy funk. On the palate it is light-bodied and refreshing, with a clean tartness and subtle dry-hopped herbal brightness. The finish is crisp, elegant, and quietly satisfying — a year-round sessionable saison in miniature.
