"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.

Bottle. Not had in a while. Nose is rich funk, wheat, pastry, raspberry, strawberry, hint of vanilla, faint green apple, faintest hint of cheese. Taste is tart raspberry, leading to vanilla, lots and lots of brett, pastry, green apple, raspberry and strawberry, yogurt, lemon juice and green apple. Bone dry finish.
Drinkable, yet complex. Brilliant.

2023 bottle at home. Ruby pour with a pinkish off-white head. Nose is raspberry, floral notes of rose, citric acidity. Taste is tart, jammy berries, some floral character, dry, tannic acidity, surprisingly clean. Light, fizzy, refreshing. Solid, but nothing extraordinary, funny it took so long to finally try it.

Aroma of tart fruits, raspberries, sour cherries, barnyard funk, oak. Flavour is quite sour and tart, raspberry, with a dry and lasting pungent sour finish. This is how I like my fruit Lambic: Not this artificial sweetish junk, but rather the real deal. Cantillon, you rock my beer world.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di frutti di bosco. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è rosso squillante. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è nella media e c'è anche una componente moderatamente acidula. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, agrumi, lampone, frutti a bacca rossa, arancia rossa, mandarino e sour in secondo piano.

Аромат малины, немного ягод вроде красной смородины, сильно ощущается залежавшиеся сено. Цвет весьма глубокий, хоть и весьма прозрачный, весьма ярко красный, пенка розовая, пушистенькая. Вкус весьма кислый, снова много малины, немного ощущается хмель, совсем немного. Послевкусие как и полагается сухое, слегка першистое, вяжущее. Уже больше ощущаются нотки кислой вишни, также есть присутствие белой и красной смородины, снова немного сена. В целом почти идеальный ламбик. Немного не хватило глубины вкуса.

Kicsi, nem túl tartós rózsaszín hab, málnalé szín. Intenzív, nagyon kellemes, málnás, istállós illat. Intenzív málnás savanyúval indít, ami gyorsan visszahúzódik, teret adva a 2 éves lambic istállós, gyümölcsös ízeinek. Lecsngéskor a hordó fás, vaníliás jegyei sejlenek föl. Könnyű, közepesen szénsavas, csak egész picit kesernyés. Isteni finom.

Still a good amount of raspberry left, sour and tart, some extra funk, wet wood, soft acidity. Very nice.
