Cantillon Rosé De Gambrinus

The aroma is very special a little metallic and sour and like a dunghill - attracting and repulsive at the same time - very interesting. It is clear red with a head the starts big but vanishes extremely fast. The flavor is flat, rather acidic and yet sweet - it lingers on the palate and lips. The nicely sour - without being too sour. It only has hints of metal in the flavor. It is very hard to tell, that it is a Framboise.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pretty pink colour and pink head. Sour nose with only a vague memory of raspberries. Sour, vinegary flavour that completely overpowers the berries - what a shame. Acid all the way through. This is a typical Cantillon tastebud killer - mainly a beer for the masochistic beer drinkers. 160598

Very authentic lambic, which means really sour. Cocktail berry red. Not much raspberry flavour at all, just a slight hint. It’s good, but just too sour for me to fully enjoy, as I react physically to the sourness - my cheeks contract, and my throat and stomach burns.

Strong Cantillonish lambicflavour. Aftertaste has some weak fruity and berryish hints, but as usual the sourness/bitterness covers it up pretty much. Some wineish hints also.
