    Not the best saison on earth, but maybe the best value: Helios from Victory. More citrusy than spice, but refreshing as all hell.

    lol - I am either very lucky or completely insensitive, as I am completely lacking in the various bad experiences with "bad beer" tastes - closest I ever came was Petrus Aged Pale, which tasted like vinegar - after pouring it out, I discovered it was supposed to taste that way :rolling_eyes:. I'll eventually come back to it now that my palate is more evolved.
    But skunky/infected-in-a-bad-way saisons? Not a one. My Fantome was incredible.

    Well it sounds like you may have won the lottery

    This has been reported in a lot of the beers put out by them this year. Apparently this is the result of a peddicocous infection which can clear out over time. For that very reason I have not opened the bottle I do have. 18 dollars is a lot of money for infected beer!
