Last release was right before flora b5

Pretty sure it was available the week of Zwanze day 2013.

what these gents said... the recent batches of fresh Dorothy are very very good IMHO... nice balance of fruit and dryness... just lowering the ABV is what I look for... I want something I can drink by the pint... that's why Clara, Walden and Mary have always been favorites of mine... now you add Table Dorothy and WoL...

Conduct of Life is out of this world.... Seriously.

agreed... it's all the flavor I want in a beer that won't fatigue my palate after 8 ounces... it's coming full circle... back to what got most of us into beer to begin with... the ability to drink copious amounts while still being functional

Sooooooo much flavor for an APA... Nose is amazing, so is the appearance. I would go out and buy a kegerator if I could have this on tap in my house is how great of a beer it is. Sad I didn't get more.

Ironically, I found like 3 or 4 of these last night as well. Plan to open one this weekend, most likely on Sunday during football.

Everett batch is great!

 

[GreenMtnMike]

Mutual admiration is really good. Also there was a magnum of SARA WoL put out at 3:30 today.

 

[bsc]

Coincidence?

Nope.

Just in case anyone wants to get super nerdy here- my group is doing a tasting w/ partial verts of all the "shelf" HF saisons - I think we're past the point of being able to drink all the batches we have at this point anyway, but I went a little down the rabbit hole doing research to try to identify as many different bottled batches as I could. Figured I might as well try to crowdsource some of those that I don't have info on - I put together a spreadsheet here: HF saison batches.

This is, for the most part, not nearly complete* (and will never be in terms of actual batches because of draft batches, unlabeled bottles nobody took notes on, etc.), but if this interests anyone at all and you have/have evidence of a batch that's not on this list, please feel free to add!

*That being said - I think this does have a complete list of Edith and Convivial Suarez batches.

Just looked thru some pics really quick I bought Arthur in 3/12 (also Anna was in the pic)had a case lined up in my 2012 picture folder from that trip, didn't see anything listed for 12 on your SS from Arthur. Hope that helps.

Edit - also found a Picture from 5/11 and there's a bottle of Florence at a tasting with no date on it.

Archive.org could probably help. I know you are missing some older batches but actual bottle/release dates are beyond me.

Archive.org could probably help. I know you are missing some older batches but actual bottle/release dates are beyond me.

It helps for things like Soigné and Suarez, but for Arthur and Anna and Florence, there are so many batches it becomes kind of impossible to figure out where one ended and the next one started using Archive.. at least as far as I've been able to go.

 

[Number45]

FWIW, I'm 99% sure Anna and Arthur bottles were released well back into 2011, if not in late 2010. But, the really old ones have gold caps that, in my experience, suck. If you chase old saisons, I'd verify they have silver caps.

Had a Convivial from 8/14 last night. I didn't notice much anything different between that and fresh Convivial...which is to say, it was awesome.

Yeah, Anna and Arthur and I believe Clara as well were both definitely released in bottles 2011. Have not found any evidence that there was bottled Florence in 2011 at any point, though it was definitely available in growler format as far back as 2010.

well my photo I have dated 5/11 proves Florence was in bottles once in 2011, there was one more bottle i remember from that day but there's no pic. My first trip to HF was in March 2011 but for some reason I didn't take pics

 

[averagjoe3]

i have an undated bottle of Florence i thought was from '12.

Yeah sorry I missed that line in your post

 

[ilovestouts]

Mutual Admiration is a very good IPA. Pat's influence is noticeable, and it has some fantastic bittering on the finish, without overwhelming.

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

Agreed, I thought the malt profile was very Alpine. Just a touch of caramel.

Os you haven't posted in this thread in 4 days. Are you ok?

I'm great.. just got back yesterday and Table Dorothy is everything I wanted and more

 

[Os]

seriously though... I hope Table Dorothy is put in heavy rotation on their brewing schedule... it's even better than regular fresh Dorothy... lost a tad of the sweetness but the fruit flavors of the hops stand out... it's probably the ideal beer for dinner or just long sessions of drinking
