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.

Bottle. Sweet and funky nose, strawberries and raspberries. Bright red with the fastest dissipating head I’ve ever seen. Opens with hard funk and a light hint of fruit three quarters of the way in that quickly fades. Very smooth palate, highlights the sourness without letting it become overbearing.

Bottled at home. Very tart with a minimal short lived head. Very dry with sweetness in finish. Far better than champagne!

Pours a hazy apricot - looks more like a dipa than a lamic. nominal head but with a slight soapy white lacing. Nose- very tart with strong raspberr and some mustiness. Taste- very acidic and woody. Earthy, lemon character with a raspberry kick. Mouth puckering goodness! Finishes dry with some fruit sweetness.

Bottle. Pours a bright hazy raspberry colour with a very light pink head. Fruity aroma with some raspberry and acids. Sour taste with good notes of raspberry.

Draft - Brasserie Beck. Deep pink, fizzy light pink head. Tart raspberry and citrus nose warms to notes of funk and dried wood. Softly funked sour raspberry jam flavor balances on light dried citrus notes. Light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Not your typical Cantillon super sour, but very nice none the less..

[Bottle] Pours a darker red with a medium pinkish head. Aroma is fresh raspberries, a little funk, and not much else. Flavor is lots of raspberries, with the typical, but somewhat subdued Cantillon sourness. It’s hard on the palate with the raspberry tartness and lambic sourness, but overall a tasty beer.

Bottle. Beautiful and refreshing with distinct raspberry. the complexity is seen better in other lambics but i’m not complaining. I could drink this always and at all times.
