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.

Butters BIg Blowout - Pours a cloudy pumpkin color with white head. Sour, sour sour, some raspberry on the nose. Sour taste throughout, acidic and vinegary. Whoo! Call me a beer novice but I couldn’t stomach this one. I tried, but no dice.

Bottle shared at Butter’s Big Cellar Blowout. Sept 07 bottle. Absolutely against what I was in the mood for. Thanks matt...asshole. But very good for style. Refreshingly sour. Pours a hazy rose color with pinkish ring of head. Sour cheese aroma, with wild raspberries. Extremely tart sour acidic flavor. But probably the best lambic I’ve had. Damn I wished I liked these more.

Bottle at Butters Big Cellar Blowout. Pours an off-white head with an amber-pink body. Smells of barnyard and red fruit. Tastes of red fruit, barnyard, sour, pepper, and tart. Hot and spicy. Excellent.

Bottle shared by aplusbreaks, thanks man! Poured a clear pale orange with a thin white head that faded to a ring. Aroma of fresh, prickly raspberries, some barnyard yeastiness, funky horse blanket, and some oak. Sweet, smooth entry quickly transitions into a tart raspberry fruitiness with some funky horse blanket and a bit of cobwebby yeastiness that pairs with some oak and lingers in the dry finish. Low carbonation and great dry bite on the palate. Overall, another good lambic with some nice fresh raspberry flavors and aromas, but I think a bottle aged a little longer may fit my tastes better.

(bottle, 2007) pours an orange-tinted red with a bubbly pink head. aroma of rhubarb, raspberries, lovely tart wildberries and lots of sour funk. flavour is mostly sour funky raspberries with a hint of lemon and balsamic vinegar and a long sweet bready finish. quite light body with sparkling carbonation and a mouth-puckering sour finish.

Bottled(375ml). -My second Cantillon. Nice peachy orange coloured, small white head that went away for two seconds, strong sour nose. Deadly sour raspberries, yeasty and slight fruity taste with dry notes of wood and cork. Dry sour finish with hint of vanilla. Vintage 2007.
