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.

Poured with a hazy pink tinged orange. Has light head a a bit of lace. Very aromatic with a hint of raspberries, lots of yeast, spice, and malt. Flavor is really tart with a bare suggestion of sweetness and some raspberry. Extremely tangy. Not a session beer. Having this at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, WI.

12oz. 2003 bottle: This one pours a slightly red tinged amber color. It is hazy. There was a bit of a head on it when it was poured, but it fizzed away quickly. The aroma is sour and tart. A hint of raspberries to it. The taste is pretty much sucker-tart. A touch of raspberries in there. I like the tart ones, but this is a bit much for me.

[Bottle, thanks Brewfiend] Pours cloudy pink with a big pink head. Aroma is sour and funky with some raspberry. Taste is about the same. Medium mouthfeel. This didn’t set itself apart from some other lambics I have had, but it was still quite enjoyable nonetheless.

Pours opaque reddish ruby with small, slowly dissapting white head. Sour aromas of fruit- raspberry mostly. A little vague however, and not very pronounced. Flavours of tart raspberry with a bit of cherry in there as well. Very very sour- almost too much so. Fruity notes are more prevalent after the initial shock of tart. Dry, acidic finish.

Bottle, 37,5 cl. Red, orange, clear, a minimal head. Heavily sour and medium sweetness. A good dry taste of raspberry, fruity and very good.

Sampled at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN and shared by brewfiend. Pours a fizzy reddish/orange amber brew with a light pink and fast dissolving head. Aroma of light tart raspberries, some flowery and yeast funk, and some drid herbs. Taste is medium bodied, well carbonated with flavors of tart berries, barnyard yeasty funk, and a touch of sour apple skin. Finish is spritzy tart with a light yeast aftertaste. A nice fruity lambic.

Pours amber with a white head. Aroma is a sour musty raspberry. Flavor is a medium tart with some raspberry. The flavor actually gets more tart as you go, but never so tart that it hurts. Overall the raspberry is an aftertaste instead of a prominent flavor.

Pinkish/oarnge in color with a white head. Alot of sour rasberries in the nose along with some malt. A nice sipper - nice malt character balanced with the sour rasberry. One of the best lambics out there.
