Best Saison I've made

2009-10-05 1:16pm

I have played around with a few saison recipes over the years and this one is by far my best. I've gotten really good feedback from the guys at my local brew store and from a few friends that are avid Saison drinkers. I think the honey added a really nice touch to the style. It still finishes dry as it should and has all of the esters a good Saison should have.
