I vividly remember the first saison I ever had. It was actually at Hacksaw’s bachelor party, and it was from a Sam Adams mix pack. It was nothing short of terrible. Easily one of the top five worst beers I've ever had. This experience turned me off to the style for quite some time. However, after partaking of a few that I really enjoyed, I decided to try my hand at making one. I wanted dry, crisp, and refreshing, with just a hint of that characteristic fruity funkiness.
