I have a saison that I really like, made with a light touch of Nelson and ginger. It's really nicely balanced but probably fruitier than your typical saison. Would you suggest entering this in the regular saison category or as a specialty beer?
 
Unless you actually added fruit, it's hard to make a saison that's too fruity. Spices can be another story. If the ginger is identifiable as such, I would enter it as a spiced beer, Saison w/ Ginger.
 
The Nelson, ginger, and yeast mix to give it a papaya and grapefruit profile. No actual fruit was used.
