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 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.

bottel 2007: pours abeuatiful pink coour with a great fluffy white head thick foam lacing. aroma is outstanding, fresh raspberries and a great tartness to go with teh sour funk. the tart makes my wouth water, i cant wait to taste, great fruit aroma , also get some flowers and hinits of sweet honey. wow what a great flavour that is bursting with raspberries and sour funk, the tarness come out and brings a lovely dryness to the palate. teh falvour is so bright and delicous adn the sour is oerfect. it finishes dry and lingering fruit that makes you want to keep driking it all night.

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.

No head. Reddish color and hazy. Smell is tart, fruit is definete raspberry, and sour. Dry feel and easy to drink. Taste is sour, acidic, with just a touch of fruit. I like very much.
