Saison Automne
Saison Automne is an autumn seasonal saison from Burning Sky Brewery, based in the rural East Sussex village of Firle in southern England. Fermented on whole elderberries, it pours a deep hazy amber, their dark berry character lending the brew a gentle rustic depth. The aroma offers a characteristically Belgian-influenced blend of fruity esters, spicy yeast notes, and a soft earthiness that evokes fallen leaves and cool autumn air. On the palate, lively carbonation lifts flavours of dark berry, orchard fruit, and subtle spice, the elderberries weaving a mild tartness through the bready, rustic malt base. The finish is pleasantly dry and refreshing, with a lingering peppery bite typical of the saison style — a fitting tribute to the changing season from one of England's most respected farmhouse ale producers.
