Had on tap. Perfectly clear golden body with a big white foam head. Smells strongly of rustic bready yeast, slight grain, grassy hops and lemon pith. Tate starts with light pale malt with accents of minerals and grain, then the lemon zest, grassy hops and lemon zest join in earnest to complete the last two-thirds of the sip. Feel is lighter bodied but still full, pale and crisp.
