    From my reviews/hads:
    HF Art
    Boulevard Saison Brett
    HF Ann
    Allagash Interlude
    HF Flora
    Upright Four Play
    McKenzie Saison Vautour
    Victory Helios
    Upright Flora Rustica
    JP Baudelaire

    I definitely suffer from inconsistency in my reviews/hads. Mostly that my hads are inflated over my reviews, particularly on the high end of the my reviewing. A couple of those beers probably do not deserve to be there.

    Favorites, order very subject to change
    Dupont Avec Les Bons Voeux
    Saison Dupont
    De Glazen Toren Saison D'Erpe-Mere
    Fantome Saison
    Fantome Saison S'Erezee-Ete
    Fantome Hiver

    Boulevard Tank 7
    Stillwater Stateside Saison
    Goose Island Sofie

    Runners up
    Bruery Saison Rue
    de Blaugues Saison D'Epeauture

    I have not had any from Hill Farmstead other than Arthur, Boulevard Saison-Brett, anything from Logsdon, McKenzie, Crooked Stave, Funkwerks or Upright.

    Most American "saisons" I have had I either consider to be not very good, not to style or both.

    Might need to update my list. Having BFM Square Root 225th Anniversay Historical Saison at a bar in Virginia now and it is absolutely fantastic. It's a blonde saison aged in Bon Chien barrels.

    Anchorage's Love Buzz is one of my favorite beers, but I have to give a shout out to:

    Surly CynicAle
    Boulevard Saison - Brett
    Ommegang Hennepin
    Boulevard Tank 7
    Jester King Noble King
    Anything by Fantome
    and Pretty Things Jack D'Or (love the "swirl the bottle before drinking" suggestion on the label, tasted great)

    Even when a saison isn't that good, I'm still happy because I'm drinking a saison. Just like having sex with fat chicks.

    Have to edit myself again as my spreadsheet wasn't updated for this. Tired Hands HandFarm would be #2 on my list.

    I second the Love Buzz, Logsdon's Seizon Bretta, and the Commons makes some fantastic saisons. I have a Boulevard Saison-Brett in my cellar from a trade, May have to break that one out!

    Sad to see a lack of funkwerks love. Tropc king and saison are amazing beers.

    Top ten saison? I don't think I've even had even 10 saisons. With that said, Fantome Magic Ghost, Boulevard Tank 7, and North Coast Le Merle, I find them to be fantastic.
