    Don't sit on these, it's pointless. I found it starting to taste like pickles last year.

    How much per bottle? I've been told that its not worth trading for, but I'm dying to try a bottle anyway. Seems like the perfect beer for a hot day.

    10.99 + tax ea.
    Last year I had my first one. But that was before having any type of Saison at all, pretty much only drank IPAs and wasn't really impressed. The GF loved it. Will be interesting to try this time around. Will be nearly impossible for me to compare to last year I guess. Last year it was drinkable to me, nothing great. Now I love Saison and have expanded my pallette a bit, can't wait to try again.
    By they way, would anyone happen to know how long a bottle of this might stay "fresh"? First bottle will be gone tonight. Getting married early Nov. and wouldn't mind popping the second then, is this too late? Should it be more of a 4th of July beer?

    It doesn't typically age well. I wouldn't wait until November. Just get a Guava Grove in September, drink that one in November! :slight_smile:

    I love most CCB beers, but not a fan of cucumbers or pickles...not sure if I will like this one. Can't wait for Guava Grove to be on the shelf though

    Haha just read on CCB Facebook. Treatment Thursday: Cucumber Saison w/ a bunch of dill thrown in to create a "pickle beer"

    I didn't think I would like this. And although it is very off the wall, it's nice on a hot summer day. I wouldn't have more than one, and in fact, sharing the bottle would be the way to go. But, I will definitely pick up at least one bottle each year.
