Goose Island
Lolita Belgian Style Wild Ale
Rosé pink in appearance. A bit sour cherry and raspberries on the nose with some funkiness and tart strawberries. Solid acidity on the palate and very refreshing. A bit of white pepper, tart and bitter strawberries and yeasty. Medium plus finish. Doing well for five years in bottle.

Oct 28th, 2018Pre ABInBev, and worth the spot in the cellar. From the beginning, my favorite vintage of this, and it's in a great place now. Fruit and sour are fully integrated, funk is just enough to round out the brisk acidity. Not sure this is going to get better, but no hurry, either. Current editions don't seem to live up to the '11.

Oct 4th, 2016Thanksgiving 2015 - a bratty, perfumed youth who speaks more loudly than anyone at the table; her sourness is simultaneously irritating and interesting; I am entertained by her subject-shifting banter but thankful when she leaves.

Nov 26th, 2015Really solid effort. Bright sourness, winey tannins, and expressive dry straw quality balanced with just a touch of fruitiness.
