My bottle of Saison, picked off the shelf at Summerhill, was absolutely fine. More hop character than I remember, but I've been drinking aged stuff for a long time. Ignore my previous comments; I would recommend aging this. Drink it like Orval: have it fresh, then try it again at 1, 3, 5 years to see how you like it. It does age well; same-same, but very different. :wink:
Here's to the slow path.

Mine was so skunked that my wife literally walked in the room, proceeded to close the living room window and said "it smells like there's a skunk outside"... I had to break the news that it was actually my beer!

On the French side of All Season wind sheild washer fluid, it says..."Toutes Saison". My wife thinks that hilarious, because she thinks saisons sometimes smell like "toots".

I can't serve her a glass of the stuff without her referencing "toots" and giggling. :)

We are hoping the latest shipment reaches our shores the first week in July and that stores see new stock by mid July.

I don't think so.

I'd speculate that perhaps the others have run out at the warehouse, and are therefore "discontinued", while Cervesia is still available for stores to order.

Just a quick heads up - a large shipment of Saison Dupont has arrived to the warehouse and we should start seeing fresh bottles in stores soon.

That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes.

If you're interested in it, I'd suggest finding your Saison Dupont somewhere dark -- picked up a light-struck bottle just the other day.
