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.

Thanks to MiguelMandingo, 750ml bottle. Pours a very nice pink grapefruit juice color with a bit of fizzy foam spots. Sweet fruity (raspberry, cherry, bit of citrus) tart smells. Sweet Tart candied sourness, but not as sweet as the nose picks up pretty much the same fruit impressions though. Strong carbonation makes a refreshingly tart fruity quaffer.

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.

Bottle. Golden/pale red color with a small white head. Aroma: Very sour, barnyard, hay, cheese, faint tart raspberries, and wood. Flavor: Very sour and tart, faint raspberries, acidic, barnyard and cheese. Dry finish. I would actually have liked a bit more raspberries. Not bad at all, but it will surely give me stomach burn.

From the Northcoast Coop this set me back a full $13.49 for 650 ml bottle. Poured a cloudy red with small off-white head and pink tinges on the bubbles. Nose is sour and clearly of raspberries. Mouthfeel is soft and smooth, and favor is a great sour note with raspberry sweetness backing it up. Simply sublime.

Very, very nice one here! Thanks to Sprinkle for the suggestion that I give this one a shot, and I’m very glad I did. Just like the description says, its the color of onion peels, with lots of small "floaties" in the brew. Pencil thin head around the sides of the glass, with minimal lacing. Aroma is nice and sour, full of raspberry. Flavor is all that and more. Sour, funk, raspberry, straw. Hint of flowers in the background. Sweet, but dry and tart (which is perfectly dealicious). Overall, a great beer, with big boobs on the label...how can you go wrong?

Bottle 75cl @ Home. [ Vintage 2005 ]. Clear medium orange red color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is tart, sour, raspberry, sulphurous. Flavor is moderate sweet, moderate to heavy acidic and moderate bitter with a long duration, and a dry and tart finish. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is lively to soft. Very nice ;o)) (150708)
