    Found a few of these in (I think) the summer verity pack and really liked them. I hit up my local liquor store which has a pretty decent verity however the closest thing I could really find by label reading was Blue Moon, it didn't hit the same spot, too fruity and didn't have the toffee / caramel hints that the Belgium Session had.

    So can someone give me the name of a or some beers that're similar and a little more mainstream? Can't seem to find 6 packs of this stuff and it'll be out of reason in a few weeks, I wouldn't mind something like this but a little bit more heavier. Doesn't have to me a session beer. Thanks!

    I really liked that beer as well. Not many Saisons are easy to find and at that low of an ABV with an interesting profile. Although different other good low ABV Saisons I have had include: Smuttynose Hayseed (has some similarities) as is Mystic Table Beer (very different).

    Although not sure if Smuttynose is sold where you are at. I am sure Mystic is not, but thought others reading the thread might want to try that if located in or near Massachuessettes.

    The Sam Adams Belgian Session is a low ABV Belgian Pale Ale. Most of the easily found beers in that category have a higher ABV.

    The closest I've seen that should be readily available is the Blue Moon Belgian Pale Ale (but I prefer the SA version).
