Draft sampled at a tasting event. From notes. Bretty, no real plum to be found. Good but not great.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a huge fluffy white head. Aroma is a nice yeasty ester with a little fruitiness in there. Flavor is decent yeasty creaminess with a hay like dry malt with fruit and funk brining things up. Did not pinpoint any plum but it has plenty of sweet fruitiness. Big on Belgian yeastiness with a decent amount of fruit and spice. My first saison in a can.

Can. Pours a clear yellowish gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy grains and Belgian yeast with and a bit of flora. Flavor has earthy grains and Belgian yeast with a hint of light fruit in the finish.

Can. Pours hazy butterscotch with a large puffy off white head that has good staying power and laces well. Aroma is fairly standard saison, peppery, yeast, lemon, herbs. Flavor is the same with a fruity, kind of odd, note over the top. Light plus sweet, a touch of lemony zest. Medium body, high carbonation. Not bad, actually.

16oz can. Hazy gold-orange-yelllow unfiltered body. Thin, creamy, steady of-white head. Has a pretty discernable plum character, which melds nicely with the Saison yeast. A little bit of a bite, but then fades into a sweet finish. Has some depth, but maybe a little too much going on, the Saison yeast is not really a clean palate to paint on. An OK, enjoyable beer.

16 oz can purchased at Gomers South in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a lightly hazed golden yellow with a billowy 3 inch inch white head. The head is quite rocky, and falls with splotchy lace. The aroma is floral perfume along with plum sweet and a bit of grass. The taste is straw up front, then the sweet floral plum along with some plum skin. The sweet turned a bit honey and a touch cloying as it warmed. The palate is medium bodied with the straw and sweet fruit finish.

Gold color. Moderate head. Sweet with some spice, but thin palate. The aroma is right but something off with the flavor that I can’t pit my finger on.

16oz can - pre-release sample (should be in the stores in a week). Pours a pale golden color, small but tight head. Aroma is weird - a plastic-y, maybe phenolic-y aroma. I don’t get plums but I think it may be the plums doing it. Behind some Belgian malts and light esters off the yeast. Flavor is better, less of that off character and a generally doughy Belgian yeast beer. Not heavy, esters wrangled in nicely. May need some work.
