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

Burning Sky Brewery, tucked away in the East Sussex village of Firle, releases this special iteration of their celebrated Saison à la Provision as Saison Reserve — aged on gooseberries in large foudre vessels. It pours a hazy golden amber with a fine, persistent white head. The aroma is immediately compelling: tart gooseberry layered over rustic farmhouse funk, hay, and gentle oak. On the palate, sharp fruity acidity meets peppery Sussex saison character — bright, complex, and refreshingly dry. The brettanomyces-influenced funk weaves through ripe stone fruit and earthy yeast notes. The finish is long, pleasantly sour, and bone dry, with a lingering wild fruitiness that rewards every sip.
