Excellent stuff...pretty much defines the saison category for many folks.

Yeah, one of the best beers in the whole wide world. As t00l said, it's the definitive Saison. Garrett Oliver keeps several cases on hand at his house at all times.

Had this on tap the other night - incredibly refreshing. I drank it way too fast.

I drank my bottle of this that I picked up at Jungle Jim's in Cinci. I agree with Evan! - it was easily one of the top beers I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. Un-friggin'-believable. The spice that came off this beer was unreal as was the citrus.
I also now know exactly what "dry as a bone" means.

Thats 'cuz he's a tool. Seriously though, this stuff is the barometer for the style. I drank this during my wedding on the ride from the ceremony to the reception. Definitely classic...

I'm saving it for taste test when I tap my Saison du Mont. Thanks for the feedback!

I just bought one of these last weekend. I'm seriously considering a taste test today...and by taste test, I mean 750 mL.
