🌍 United Kingdom · Saison · One of 35 Saisons in hopIQ

Saison Anniversaire from Burning Sky Brewery in Firle, East Sussex, is a landmark annual release that showcases the Sussex producer's deep affinity with the Belgian and French farmhouse tradition. Pouring a hazy golden straw, it carries a delicate effervescence that lifts aromas of orchard blossom, white pepper, dried citrus peel, and a whisper of spice added during the boil. Fermentation in French Chardonnay barriques alongside wild yeast imparts subtle oak, lactic brightness, and a wine-like complexity entirely its own. On the palate it is elegant yet lively — dry, gently tart, and layered with stone fruit and earthy funk. The finish is long, mineral, and refreshingly rustic.
