Do you generally like Saisons?

1.) It's OK to not like something. We're not in control of our palates and none of us like every style of beer equally.

2.) It's not like Archie is saying Saison-Brett is bad. He's just saying that it didn't work for him. It IS a great beer by objective and subjective metrics. But you kind of have to like Brettanomyces to enjoy it.

Unless that something is Saison Brett :D

I'm a huge fan of Ommegang Hennepin. I also like Tank 7. I haven't had a lot of different samples of the style.

I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of saisons in general. Saison-Brett is fantastic to me.

If you're not into Brett funk, but like saisons, I can see how you might not be blown away by Saison Brett. With a couple of years for the Brett to work, that stuff is sublime (in my opinion, of course).

Yea....I've had two 2012 bottles in the last month or so. Just wonderful.

I had 11, 12 and 13 vintages of it last year for my birthday and the 11 blew everyone away. The balance between the funk and the base beer was just about perfect.

Are there still some bottles out in the world to be found?

Spec's in Houston had a few bottles of 2012 left a little over a month ago. Not sure about the KC area. Also, those bottles in Houston won't be there more than a few weeks. I'm headed that way and will be buying what's left.

Heh. Talk about subjectivity. I love Saisons so much I'm writing a book on them, but I HATE Hennepin.

I thought Hennepin had a super weird taste for a Saison. I only tried it once though. I've got one more bottle. Maybe it will change my opinion.

Btw, when I asked y'all about recommendations for my non beer buddy that loved Tank 7. You mentioned a few names. Of those, my wife got her hands on Stones Matts Burning Rosids and Firestone Walker Opal. I'll be sharing those with him over the next couple weeks. Thanks man!

Saison is my favorite beer style by far. I have 5gal fermenting and it will probably be pretty average for a Saison and I will still enjoy drinking it and working on the next one.

Whats your #1?

Whoa, high bar there. :)

No doubt a subjective claim by me, but I feel vindicated that Beer Advocate backs it. Obviously this doesn't mean much, but it says that I'm not completely crazy in terms of my personal ratings.
