On-tap at Bar Omar, Brooklyn, NY
A: The beer is slightly hazy purple in color. it poured with a short dark pink head that died down a bit, but consistently left a thick collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of cherries are present in the nose along with notes of funk.
T: The taste is rather funky and has underlying notes of cherries.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a little tart on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This is a very interesting wild ale. It's definitely more funky than sour and might not be everyone's cup of tea.
Serving type: on-tap

Sample at Industry Night at HomeBrewCon.
Bright red with a minimal head. Sour cherries lactic tartness light earthy funk bits of lemons. Somewhat sweet flavor, this smells a lot better than it tastes. Doesn't taste bad just not very sour/wild.

Had on tap. Free will does well to incorporate funk and wood into their beers, and this was no exception. The cherry was not so much a warhead sour, but rather a tart and funky cherry with some woody yeast. Tastes great together, and smell is ripe tart cherry forward. Feel is a little yeasty for me, but still nice
