this and this

Brooklyn's Sorachi is pretty good too

 

Had the Fantome Spring this year "Blew my mind!" but extremely hard to find. Can Never Go wrong with Sorachi Ace!!

BTW Brooklyn has a new saison/heffeweizen they just released in partnership with the greenworks market! Look out its tasty!!

 

And Pennsylvania. ;-)

 

Maui Lemongrass Saison.

 

Boulevard Tank 7 is my all-time favorite. Hennepin is a favorite that I like to serve to white wine drinkers to try to get them to look at beer.
I really like The Existent from Stillwater as my off-the-wall pick. Cellar Door is too herbal and citric for my tastes. Stateside Saison is solid. I enjoyed the one I tried at Champiion Brewing this past weekend.

 

I didnt get citrus that much. It was more like softer tropical fruits like white grapes IMO. I was really surprized, that it was actually brewed with American hops instead of for instance Galaxy.

One of my favourite beer.

Toccalmatto Oceania is a bit similar, but not that good.

 

I have really been enjoying Ovila with mandarin oranges and peppercorns.

Very crisp and refreshing. Hides the 7.5% a little too well, and the peppercorns are very muted, so it does not prvide any sort of unpleasant kick. Just very well done as you might expect from SN.

As has been mentioned a few tmes, Farm Hands by Tired Hands is unreal, but not easy to get.

HF Vera Mae
HF Anna
Prairie Standard
Oxbow Barrel Aged Farmhouse Pale Ale

 

Jester Kings Salt Lick Pecan Smoked Saison!!

 

As a follow-up to my original post, I opened up both La Vermontoise and Anna last night, Vermontoise reminded me very much like Saison Dupont, just a very good beer that is true to the style. Anna however I would place between Verra Mae and Convivial Suarez.

 

HF Anna
Fantome Saison (old label)
Fantome Printemps (old label)

And for every day saisons the Saison Cazeau and Surly Cynic are pretty good.

 

I'm enjoying this one too. Despite only so-so reviews on BA, it's a good lighter option for hot summer days and goes well with food

 

According to seek a brew they are distributed a bit broader.

Full distribution: NY, MA, RI, IN, LA, DC

Limited distribution: CA, PA

Jack D’Or is indeed a tasty beer but a bit pricey (bomber prices).

Cheers!

 

My favorite Saisons are the number of Saison beers from Hill Farmstead; they are all OUTSTANDING!

I do want to give a ‘shout out’ to Stillwater for Cellar Door and Stateside Saison. Two very tasty Saison beers that are now available in 4-packs at reasonable prices.

Cheers!
