Saison Houblon
Saison Houblon from Burning Sky Brewery in Firle, East Sussex, is a crisp, modern take on the classic Belgian farmhouse style. It pours a hazy pale gold with a bright, frothy white head. The aroma leads with a lively burst of noble hop character — floral, spicy, and faintly herbal — underpinned by the breezy, yeast-driven notes typical of a well-crafted saison. On the palate it is light-bodied and refreshingly dry, with gentle biscuity malt providing a subtle backbone while the noble hops deliver an elegant, peppery spice. The finish is clean, crisp, and persistently bitter — supremely quaffable. A Sussex-brewed saison that balances Continental hop tradition with an easy, modern drinkability.
