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.

Sampled at the 1st annual Stone Sour Festival 2007. Nose of roses, and tastes of similiar. Very refreshing.

750 ml corked bottle. Pinkish head diminishing whilst pouring. Slight unclear pale ruby colored body. Initial aroma of barnyard and horseblanket, and then sourness and tart acidity takes over. Hints of rasberry in the flavor, defeated by a heavy sourness. Mouth-cleansing tartness throughout the finish. A bit too challenging for my tastebuds.

Bottle at home. Light red. Aroma and flavor very sour, not much pleasure about this. And the raspberries are not tasted at all.

375 ml bottle. Cloudy orange red colour - blood orange. Medium-sized white head with a red tinge. Sharp acidic nose balanced by red berries. Really acidic upfront flavours. Great fruity flavours balanced by sour sharpness. Challenging, but really nice mix of fruit and acidity.

Bouteille de 12 oz, procuré à Bayside Liquors (Bar Harbor, Maine). Orange rougeatre, pas de collet. Arome très acide de framboises, quelque d’autres fruis acides, assez bien. Goût très sûre de fruits, surtout framboise. Je ne dirais pas extraordinaire mais assez bien.

Bottle (37.5cl): Deep fruity (raspberries and ananas (?)) nose with cellary and brett-like aromas, deep golden to light amber coloured, hazy, small but firm white head; strong (fruity) sour flavour, some bitterness detectable, light bodied; sourish-fruity finish with a distinctive tartness in the aftertaste. A complex, glass-breaking fruit-beer...............

375 ml. bottle. Pink/red with a small and fast disappearing white/light red foam. The aroma is acidic with raspberry and cherry notes. The flavour is very sour, maybe the most sour Cantillon (and that is saying something), with only a touch of fruits. Medium body with a long sour finish that has a touch of raspberries. I wouls have preferred a more fruity beer, but however this is absolutely not bad.
