found some info indicating Goose Island Lolita is brewed with a Brettanomyces culture:
"
- Lolita is a rose-colored Belgian Style Pale Ale fermented with the wild yeast Brettanomyces and aged in wine barrels on 30,000 pounds of fresh raspberries, sourced locally from a family farm in Michigan. Aromas of fresh raspberries, bright jammy fruit flavors and a crisp, refreshing body make Lolita ideal for beer drinkers fond of Belgian Framboise. Lolita is 8.2% alcohol by volume and develops in the bottle for up to 5 years.

How We Review
What the brewers say
“Lolita is a Belgian-style pale ale fermented with wild yeast and aged on raspberries in wine barrels. Aromas of fresh raspberries, bright jammy fruit flavors, and crisp, refreshing body.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Lovely aromatics—floral, honey, berry, and light pineapple with a bit of apricot and cherry. Mild sweaty
Brett goodness and more as it warms.”
Flavor: “Flowers first with delicate berry notes, moderate jammy notes and acidity, some sweet malt, light lemon zest, and big raspberry. Fruit tannins and acidity help balance the sweetness. Just enough bitterness to round things out with some
Brett in the aftertaste. Light tannic notes add structure and support fruit and sour notes. High tartness with a slight “fresh hops” note.”
Overall: “This is a big fruity, jammy beer, with supporting acids and
Brett-derived fruit notes such as pineapple. Fruit lovers should drink it cool, while
Brett lovers should let it warm up to bring out more funk. The initial taste up front reminds me of homegrown hops. It would pair well with pan-seared salmon or spicy tuna rolls, and it would be a great marinade for ceviche.”
I'm going to pitch the dregs and see if I can get a culture going
