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. 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.

Bright red with a pink head. Fluffy, champagne-like carbonation. Lightish yet solid body. Very zingy and tart. Some acidity and bile to give it depth. Quite a bit of sourness to boot. Raspberries were faint and in the background. Salty finish. Dynamic, refreshing and tasty.

Draft @ Max’s. Pours a bright, hazy raspberry color; very light pink head with solid, mixed-bubbled lacing. Loads of funk, tart citrus, and red fruits (cherries, raspberries) in the aroma; very solid funk and core fruitiness. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: sour cherries and raspberries; touch of pittiness and tannins and skins; tart citrus, basic funk, and a touch of soft malt sweetness mid-palate and towards the finish; lengthy end: citrus tartness, red fruits (some strawberries), and lasting cherries.
