Vieux Bois Lambic Inspired W/ Raspberry and Cherry
Bozeman Brewing Company

great series of beers, and this one is awesome, fruit forward, bracingly sour, intense, nice mix of both fruits obvious, summery and ripe and red and tangy, a little more acetic to me than good lambic, but i get where they are coming from with this, can appreciate some wheat, some oak, and some wild elements. a little hazy, pinkish orange from the tap, fizzy like soda but its head doesnt stay. the nose makes me pucker right away, more acidic and bacterial than bretty or truly spontaneous, but its well mature and its interesting on the ferment still, same with the taste, really sharp and astringent and limiting and limited, but unique enough to be good still. faintly cheesy in the nose, an isovaleric thing, but i dont taste that even at temperature. the fruit is great, tangy pie cherry, red currant, even grapefruit, and then the obvious raspberry, very little sweetness left to the fruit, but their identities remain. wheaty, some pils malt maybe, a little oxidation, not unflattering in the style, but also perhaps already peaked. i like the layers of fruit, they come in waves, both pulling equal weird, faintly medicinal at the end, red winey, yummy. could be a little more bubbly and a little less sour, but thats nitpicking, this is fun and distinctive and nicely executed overall! kriek-esque.

Taster at brewery. Rosé colored, flat. Aroma and taste are tart, then fruity. Definite brett presence. Berries and cherries. yeasty funk with a mild pucker
