On tap at Pizza Port, Ocean Beach. Served in a tulip.
Pours a deep copper with clingy head. Smelling this I got sour apple cider, a hint of raspberry, some root beer (?), maybe some cherries and funk.
Tastes a bit like the smell, apple cider, raspberry undertones, little bit of that Cherry Coke taste, malt, some floral qualities. Mouthfeel is about right. Had no problem putting this one down.

Amber color, 1/2" head on it, off white. Flowers and tartness in the smells.
Taste was a mild going easy drinking wild ale affair. Some flowers and citrus rind. Its a 2.5 on the 1-10 sour scale. Real mild. Flowery. The brett character just wasn't there for me, I heard NB pastuerizes all their beers now, even wild ales, so that would seem to destroy any brett development, and this tasting was somewhat confirmation of the rumor.
