    Sorachi Ace is my favorite, and Tank 7 and Hennepin are runners-up

    I'm not that fond of most U.S. saisons but I love the Duponts, De Glazen Toren and some Fantomes
    Boulevard Tank 7 is arguably too hoppy but gets the bone dry finish correct and is a great value
    Goose Island Sofie is good
    Stillwater Stateside (I prefer it to Cellar Door) is decent
    Off Color Apex Predator is also decent
    Pretty Things Field Mouse's Farewell (I prefer it to Jack D'Or) is good but maybe closer to a bier de garde
    Most of the others are meh, just wrong or too expensive for what they are.

    While I like a number of brett saisons I regard them as a separate category

    Tank 7+++++++
    Saison Rue
    Ovilla with orange and peppercorns
    Sofie
    Saison Brett
    Anything Stillwater
    Burning Rosids
    Hennepin- which I give upstate luv, but some how's seems skunky to me

    It takes a real man to wear leather undies, and sip saison. The tingling is evocative

    Arthur and la biere de fantaisie. Also green flash's saison kills as a summertime session.

    my go to Saisons:
    Ommegang Hennepin
    Pretty Things Jack D'Or
    Brooklyn Sorachi Ace
    21st Amendment Sneak Attack

    I'm able to get Trillium once a year when at a trade show, always enjoyable.

    Also, whenever I drink Saisons I always get Cezanne by 5 Chinese Brothers stuck in my head...

    I am not a fan of the style for the most part. However Hill Farmstead does the style so incredibly well. However many of their saisons taste eerily similar to me.

    @Mikecap beat me to it: Hill Farmstead any ancestor name.

    I would add some comment about Hill Farmstead with some exclamation points but PSU_Mike might get upset.:wink:

    Cheers!
