Can at home. Pours semi clean golden with a white head. Nose is big clove and even bigger banana, light vanilla and nutty notes and a hint of sweetness somehow. Taste is intense, somewhat sweetish esters, loads of banana notes coming through, then a touch of cloves shows, almost immediately followed what seems to be hop bitterness just so that it can finish on lighlty oaky, tannic vibes. Just like in the aroma, there's some (perceived) sweetness in the flavour as well, which makes it hard to drink - at least harder than how this style should be at 5%. I dont hate this, but it's too messy

Can online from Rad Beer. Pours mildly hazed golden yellow with pillowy white foam. Aroma: pale malts, saison yeast, herbal. Taste: mild tartness, clean, quite delicate, saison yeast, light spicy. Dry on the palate. Towards medium body with foamy carbonation. Enjoyed this.

Can at Drinkoteka, thx Brandt for sharing with Zhenya, me, the BJCP gentleman and the brewer of Sommar. Randomly. Golden body, didn't note its head. Erm... corn and veggies were the first thing to come out of the aroma, followed by an old sweetish, almost melony touch which could partly be the barrel. DMS again in the taste initially, before it gave way to spicy, floral notes, honey, odd coconut-like touch, there's some barrel, for sure, but what I'm missing is actual saison notes, the body, the notes, just not saisonish... Disappointing for BFM, this style isn't the other brewery's forte anyway.
