473 ml can. Pours a clear amber with full head. Aromas of rosemary, banana, candied citrus, and wheaty malts. Flavors follow same with initial emphasis on rosemary followed by banana/ yeast, and then back to rosemary in the finish. Not getting much plum unless it's unripe plums; then a bit of tartness

On tap at Vancouver Island, pours an opaque pinkish peach colour with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with rosemary, sending the peach to a backseat role, and burying any saison yeast character. Flavour is spicy, with lots of rosemary upfront, followed by peach zest, and a bit of spicy saison yeast. A bad idea and though it's not an abomination, it's not too pleasant.

Hazy golden colour. Smell of rosemary, maybe Saison yeast. Strong Saison yeast character, dry mouthfeel, plastic, moderate rosemary, flavours are clashing, this one would really need some sugars and some fruit to hope for some balance.
Not good.
