Saison de Peche

Tap to rate

Saison de Peche is a fruit-aged saison from Burning Sky Brewery in Firle, East Sussex, crafted with characteristic Sussex patience and precision. Poured into the glass it presents a hazy golden amber with a fine, persistent white head. The aroma opens with ripe yellow and white peach, layered over the brewery's signature house acidity and classic farmhouse funk — earthy, slightly floral, and inviting. On the palate, juicy stone fruit mingles with tart, bright acidity, dry spice, and a gentle effervescence typical of the style. Three months of whole-peach maceration lends remarkable depth without sweetness becoming dominant. The finish is clean, refreshingly dry, and gently acidic, making this 750ml bottle an elegant sharing experience.
