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.

2008 vintage bottle Pours out a crisp ruby topped with a small pink head. Aroma of sourness some berries and a little wood. Tast was more of the raspberries and tartness. A tasty one.

2004 vintage pours copper with gold edges and tiny white head. The aroma is noticed from feet away as I pour my glass with assertive notes of berries. A closer inspection yields more sweet notes mixing with funkiness – nearing barnyard, hay and more berry sweetness. Nice aroma with plenty of depth and things going on. The taste starts tart and acidic then notes of berry surface. It evens out into the finish with the addition of modest funk and wet bails of hay. I thought I heard this doesn’t age well. It seems to me to be good and possibly getting better.

First the wonderfull aromas are very strong when the bottle got opened. Pours a wonderfull bright red color and slightly hazy with a light pink head. Aromas are fruity, floral and hoppy. The flavors are sour fruits, with mostly rasberry and hops, not sweet but sour bitterness. Very easy to drink and very refreshing, pleasent. Really enjoyed it.

Cloudy orange with a small pink head. Juicy aroma of raspberry with barnyard cantillon funk. Extremely sour berry flavour with wood and leather notes.

Brewed in Belgium...... Pours a nice ruby color with a foamy pink dissipating head. Aroma of raspberries, funk, earth and cheerios. The taste is of baby funk, raspberries and some major sourness !! The mouthfeel is on the thin side yet it’s foamy on the palate and finishes with some dryness. Overall, I am extremely pleased with lambic from Cantillon.

750ml bottle shared by BeerGestapo, a huge thanks for sharing this tasty treat. Pours a brilliant ruby red with a massive pink head. Smells tart with notes of funk, berry, and cereal. The flavor is tart and loaded with raspberries, funk, and wood. Drying effect all over the palate. Excellent.

Pours out redish pink with light pink bubbles. Smells of funky raspberries. Taste is tart and fruity. Lots of acid and sour flavors with some yeasty funk. Crisp and refreshing. Another great brew from Cantillon.
