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.

Beautiful, brilliant ruby red in color. Poured with no head. Aroma sweetly floral and strongly of raspberries. Raspberry flavor well balanced by the beer’s general sourness, keeping it from being overly sweet. Nice.

Bottle from La Cave å Bulles, Paris. Not quite as sour as the Kriek from Cantillon. Beautiful light burgandy colored body. Big frothy purple head. You get the incredible sourness first on the tongue, then a waft of sour yeast yeast creeping up the back of the nose. The fruit only flashes at the end. A perfect sipping beer. Amazing.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Bottled 4/9 2007. Pours with a fizzy sound a hazy red (orange)with a sparkling pink fading head. The nose is fresh - bitter with sweet berries and notes of straw. The taste is sour sour sour in that special Cantillon way - Berries, wet hay, cloves and something like lactose. Finish is dry and bitter with rasberry-notes

Pink, with light pinkish head. Aroma is spicy, and foul, like equal parts ground pepper and rat turds. Taste starts as it smells, and then washes with intensely tart raspberry. Cutting acidity almost warms as it goes down. Taste fades into sweaty brett. $11/12oz

Pours a cloudy deep orange-pink color. Aroma is raspberry, strawberry, lemon, and vinegar. Slightly dry and bubbly. Flavor is a tart/sour raspberry and strawberry. Very excellent beer.
