COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
"It has the colour of onion skin", said a voice behind me. It was Raymond Coumans. He was admiring the colour of the raspberry lambic reflecting in the red copper of the buckets used to empty the barrels. At that time (1986), "Raspberry-Lambic" already was synonymous with a sweet, artificially flavoured beer. This is why we decided to distinguish our beer from the other raspberry beers. Raymond proposed to call it a rosé, dedicated not to Bacchus but to Gambrinus.

The process to make this beer is identical to the one to make Kriek. When young, the Rosé de Gambrinus will still present its full fruity taste. Later on, the lambic taste will become dominant at the expense of the fruit taste.

4.1
RennyDoig (248) - - APR 24, 2024
UPDATED: APR 24, 2024 Flight at The Magnet. Pours clear ruby. Aroma is full of raspberry with some solid funk beneath. Flavour has a great balance between fruity sweetness and a dry tartness that keeps it very drinkable. Clear notes of raspberry and some funkiness. Super well done, great beer.

eddie (352) - ITALY - DEC 9, 2023
UPDATED: DEC 9, 2023 Colore ramato rossastro e schiuma fine. Già al naso si avverte la natura acida di questa birra: note aspre di lampone, rose, limone. In bocca è gradevolmente acida e frizzantina e rinfrescante: anche qui si avvertono il lato fruttato di lamponi e gli agrumi, il finale lascia in bocca in sensazione di aceto; corpo leggero.

3.8
midovark (6295) - Alkmaar, NETHERLANDS - NOV 7, 2023
UPDATED: NOV 7, 2023 2023 bottle at home. Ruby pour with a pinkish off-white head. Nose is raspberry, floral notes of rose, citric acidity. Taste is tart, jammy berries, some floral character, dry, tannic acidity, surprisingly clean. Light, fizzy, refreshing. Solid, but nothing extraordinary, funny it took so long to finally try it.

UPDATED: AUG 3, 2023 Bottle from Malt Attacks. Pours clear bright ruby with a thin, fizzy head. Tastes like raspberry, yeast, cracker malt, and soft vinegar. Light body and low carbonation. Smells like raspberry, yeast, cracker malt, and soft vinegar.

3.6

4.2
one51 (2095) - - JUN 20, 2023
UPDATED: JUN 20, 2023 Bottle with Steve, thanks! Drunk during a hail storm at Higgins Tap Room. Funky brett strawberry nose & color/raspberry on the tongue. Fat flavor, super complex, a dream of sour beers. The fruit flavor really comes through unlike in many sours. Excellent!

3.8
jamestulloch (8620) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JUN 11, 2023
UPDATED: JUL 24, 2023 Bottles at Bruges Beer Festival and at home (birthday gift from Pam). Ruby body with a faint haze and a short-lived pink head. Steady carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of rose petal, lemonade and raspberry. Flavour of tart raspberry and bitter lemon with a very dry finish. Thin body with a slick texture. Light fizz. Clean and tart.

3.4
Psytron (6689) - Turku, FINLAND - MAY 14, 2023
UPDATED: MAY 14, 2023 Smell of sour cherry, faint sugar. Purple colour, pink head. Aroma of sour cherry, acid, vanilla, faint raspberry in finish. Very sour. Fizzy carbon.

Lore (6819) - Budapest, HUNGARY - JAN 2, 2023
UPDATED: JAN 2, 2023 pinkish ruby colour, no head at all; aroma and taste of lemon and sour cherry juice, raspberry, some acetone and earthy-cellary notes; quite good one
