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.

Pours light rose colored with a small, lightly foamy pink head. Aroma of cherries, raspberries, and sour apples. Taste is fruity, tart, and slightly sour. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a soft supple carbonation. Delicious!

Bottle. Pours a pinkish/orange color, without much head. Aroma was very sour, with a hint of raspberry. Flavor is much the same - quite sour, very sharp & crisp, with some raspberry undertones. Very dry.

A clear cut essential re-rate. Beer 6 of Officially the Best Thursday in Beer ever in the existence of my life. A so called pallet cleanse, Bill from the other site provided a 1996 Vintage Bottle and damn damn damn it was sick. Really freaking amazing makes me want to buy a pallet and put it in a storage unit for a decade and watch it mature. Damn Damn Damn Damn Beer 13 Summer 2006 trip in Europe. Drank on 7/1/06 from the bottle at Cantillon. I sampled this after my tour. This framboise is dry and subtle and very tasty. The taste of fruit is not overwhelming but present in every sip

Full acidic and ciderish nose. Apple-juice look, and mixed-soured-fruit taste. This beer was good in its 12oz size, anything more might have been unwelcome. Need to learn more about lambics...

Orange with a pink tinge, no head. Strong sour funky aromas. Flavor is very sour - lemon juice, some sour apple, sour raspberry. Dry, sour finish. Not really my thing.

Shared with Immy. From bottle. Poured a golden orange with small bubbles that clung to the sides of the glass. Nose is sour, lactic, with hints of raspberry underneath. Flavor is sour with an acidic aftertaste. Not much left of the taste buds after this one, although the palate is smooth. Grapefruit rind finish.

Golden amber, with no head. Reminds me a bit of garbage juice (the liquid that collects in the bottom of trash cans and garbage bags). Nose is very sour.. almost like funky socks. Flavor is sour, with lemon, and vinegar.. made me gag on certain sips.
