Drank 02.2024 in a Hill Farmstead oversized wine glass. Stored in perfect cellar conditions.

Look - no head to speak of, really nothing to get excited about.
Smell - couldn't really get much out of it.
Taste - just way too fucking tart and sour. Sure, you can get the cranberries and orange peel but this is ridiculous.
Feel - again, not good. no carbonation to speak of.
Overall - a real struggle to drink.

On tap at Beavertown Extravaganza. Aroma has dark fruits, blackberry, wood barrel and farmhouse notes. Taste is tart and fruity with some acetic notes and a hint of grape vinegar.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a rugged semi-dark ruddy amber color with a quickly dissipating foamy little head. Dissipates into oblivion without regard for any lacing. The aroma starts with some tart cranberries and fresh sage. Slides into some hibiscus, light cherry, some orange peel. The flavor leads with a delicate sour to tart blend of the cranberries to the floral and herbal nature of the hibiscus and sage. Orange peel seems to slide further to the back. Semi-sweet dry sour aftertaste running into the finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a contained sour to herbal sweet smoothness somewhat sticking to my tongue. Overall, nicely done sour/wild ale, definitely could be one to have for people just getting into the style.

375ml bottle bottled on 2016 October 26 and served in a HF tulip. Pours a burned caramel hue with a hazy clarity and a loose, off-white head that dissipates into a frothy band around the shoulders. A residual oily swirl is left in the center of the glass and copious tiny bubbles are present adhering to the bowl of the glass. Wonderful aromatics detectable at arm's length - sage and hibiscus as well as tart fruit (most likely the cranberries and orange peel described on the label). There's also a slight, yeasty presence at the back. Taste consistent with nose - acidity nicely melds with the yeast and keeps the other qualities in check. Mouthfeel is light in body with a mild, even carbonation and a pleasant acidity. Overall, tasty, somewhat complex and not overly funky. A nice intro sour.
