This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a glossy burnt orange with a guzzling white head. No lacing.
The smell started off with a fresh green apple tartness beating upon fresh subtle vinous to bitter and sour lemon rind, light pulp. Flowing dry woodiness.
The flavor takes all of the previously mentioned flavors and combines dry and puckering sour with a semi-sweet underneath. Light grassy hops display a decent balance to it. Dry vinous/tart apple aftertaste and quick semi-sour to sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sipping quality about it due to dry vinous qualities about it.
Overall, as an American Wild ale, it works and I could come back to this.

Draught at the brewery, 3/18/16.
Bright golden-flax body shows low haze and a moderate white head that shows low retention.
Very dainty nose exhibits light wine characteristics, mixing with brett tartness (lemon, lime) and a shot of rich honey-like maltiness behind it that balances things perfectly and rounds out the aroma. No alcohol or flaws, light wood and oak, but nothing buttery/overly toasty. Lovely.
In the flavor it’s a bit more aggressive, with stronger wine and oak suggestions and a bit more sweet/sour character than I’d prefer. Still, the carbonation is on-point and the flavors are quite delicious, with no flaw or alcohol and maybe just a touch too much tannin on the end.
