I can't say for sure the yeast flavor definitly shines through but I used a different yeast than specified (Wyeast 3711).
Here is my BeerSmith output:
Recipe: Saison de Pipaix Clone TYPE: All Grain
Style: Saison

I brewed the same recipe out of BYO six weeks ago. Changed the yeast to Wyeast 3711 and fermented at 70 degrees F. Turned out awesome! I was a bit worried with all of those spices but served cold and carbonated it is awesome! I am bringing a keg of it to a party tomorrow. Will post back...
Thanks discndyno, you were right. I am new to the software. So, after bumping up the boil volume, my IBUs are too high. Tried messing with the hop alpha values and the brew efficiency to match but no luck. I am not too worried about it.
I am thinking about aging it with some oak cubes in...
This looks great. I am planning to brew it next week. Question about the hops though. I plugged the recipe into Beersmith and total IBUs show 39 which is below the RIS style guideline of 50-90. Is this on purpose? Am I doing something wrong in Beersmith?
