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.

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.

Red with small head. Lots of acidity as well as rasberry fruityness. Tart mouthfeel. Nice brew but impossible to drink to much of, I would like it to come in smaller bottles.

Just opening the bottle you can tell this thing is going be seriously sour and funky from the aroma. Pours a cloudy pink with a thin head. The beer seemed a little thin and bubbly. Incredibly sour, almost a little to much so. The raspberries don’t really stand out much. Was a bit of a miss for me.

I tried this beer on May 23, 2008 at "The Beer Bistro" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a cloudy pinkish red with a thin white head. The aroma was musty with some hints of raspberry. The mouthfeel was thin, and very champagny. The flavour was primarily sour raspberries, very dry, and delicious. Very expensive, yet worth it.

375 ml bottle at Uusi Apteekki. Very hazy reddish brown, with minimal head. Very rich yeasty aroma with sour berries. Sticky dry and sour finish that has lovely rasberry notes. Medium bodied. Fantastic beer with delicate rasberry notes and very refreshing sour flavor.

I’ve experienced this on multiple occasions at multiple ages, and once on tap. Every taste has been fantastic, with minor raspberry notes, and a well balanced lambic running the main flavors. Mellows out beautifully after about 4 or 5 years. Yum!
