Saison de Fete
Saison de Fete from Burning Sky Brewery in Firle, East Sussex, is a celebratory special release that showcases this Sussex farmhouse producer at its most ambitious. Brewed with Pilsner malt, spelt, and wheat, then aged for a full year in wine barrels with mixed fermentation cultures, it pours a hazy golden-amber with a fine, persistent head. The aroma drifts between stone fruit, gentle barnyard funk, dried flowers, and a whisper of oak. On the palate, subtle spicing weaves through a bright, effervescent body with refreshing acidity and earthy complexity. Noble hops lend a delicate herbal backbone. The finish is long, dry, and quietly vinous — a beer that rewards patience.
