On tap at The Beer Temple, pours a clear pale golden with a huge white head. Aroma has rustic saison yeast, light bugginess, and a touch of wet hops. Flavour has some phenolic notes, cleaner, rustic saison yeast, and a touch of bugs. Well, something didn�t go quite right here. The yeast seems messed up. Needs work.
