Had at a recent Philly 'burbs bottle share.
Ruby-brown pour, with a small, sturdy cap of off-white foam; moderate retention and lacing. Berry aroma, lactic and slight acetic notes. On the palate, vinous notes, cherry and cranberry, tart and acetic, but manageable, earth and mineral, with some of the caramel malts coming through in a minor way. Medium body, moderate (maybe slightly high) carbonation. Nothing groundbreaking, but a solid and enjoyable wild ale overall.

Brown and ruddy in appearance, super thin 1/7" tan head. Great aroma, dark fruit, charred malt, coffee from the malt and toffee notes. Complex.
Taste, a good amount of acetic acid, vinegar like aspect pairing with darker malt. Full on carbonation, alcohol noticeable, dark cherry and dark fruit bitterness as well as tartness.
An interesting and unique enough beer. Closes up drying. Would bang again at the right price. Wouldn't chase.
