    I also enjoy the Swing and the summer love. They have a nice spicy aftertaste.

    Personally I enjoy:
    Goose island sofie
    GDBC Collette
    Anything from crooked stave
    Saison and Tropic king from funkwerks
    Saison DuPont (pretty much sets the standard for a saison)
    Ommegang Hennepin
    Any of the Hill Farmstead saisons...

    I'm with many others here, seeing the word Hennepin makes me thirsty.

    Haven't seen it mentioned, but get a bottle of Saison-Brett by Boulevard when it is released this summer. It is amazing.

    My fave saison bar none is 'Love Buzz' from Anchorage brewing. It's not cheap, $13.99 for 750ml, but worth every penny if you can track it down. Same goes for all the Anchorage stuff. It's all brewed by one guy, Gabe Fletcher, and he is some kinda genius...

    Love Buzz is amazing- recently found 4 bottles in K&L wines in Redwood City and bought them all.

    Grrrr . . . glad you're enjoying it, though. I'm a longtime Ommegang supporter and have been real psyched about this beer since I first saw a potential label approval back in like, February. Been waiting for this one to drop for months.

    Start homebrewing. Saison isn't harder to make than other beers and easier than many. At $10+/750mL, brewing saison is about the only way to save money homebrewing.

    Omnegang Hennepin. Amazing beer at an amazing price ($6.99 750ml bottle).

    If you aren't digging it.. i'll send you my address. Cap the bottle and ship it to me. :slight_smile:

    Perennial Artisan Ales makes a great one called Saison De Lis with chamomile. Also La Merle from North coast is great and readily available.

    Saison Dupont because, well, yeah. I personally really like The Bruery's Saison Rue and Jolly Pumpkin's Baudelaire IO. Weirdly Saisons are arguably my favorite style and I've only had like a couple dozen though.
