On tap at Another Beer Co, pours a fairly clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Nose is herbal, crunchy and earthy, with lots of crunchy cabbage and earthiness. Flavour is much the same, with earthy spiciness, crunchy cabbage, and grass. Way too herbal and crunchy vegetal. Not terrible but there's nothing pleasant about this.

Can from the brewery. Deep gold colour, with a slight haze and not much head. There is a touch of rye on the nose, but it's buried underneath gluey phenols and doughy malt. The phenols remain on the palate, maybe a little bit lighter, because the rye is fairly prominent. But it's not that hoppy, and the faults aren't overpowered.

Draught at the brewery
Hazy blond colour. Very similar to the Bright Temperament saison, stale and with high alcohol perception, just a bit more spicy.
Not very good.

Good foam, nice mostly clear brown or gold body. Soft funky vegetably aroma of fresh grains, maybe rye, lots of cabbage. Flavour is more soft grain, sweet yet slight vegetable quality. Full on the mouth. Nothing is too pronounced, a nice drinker but I doubt I will remember it in a week.
