"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 from Biradiski, 0.375l, shared with Simona & David. Aroma of raspberries, wine, citrus and flowers. Pours cloudy dark maroon color with medium sized soapy brownish pink head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with tart raspberries, citrus and white wine, following is grainy, earthy and funky with smooth mouthfeel. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Heavenly tartness…

Sour, tart, fruity. Raspberries, low acidity, surprisingly soft and sweet. Very nice and fresh.

Flight at The Magnet. Pours clear ruby. Aroma is full of raspberry with some solid funk beneath. Flavour has a great balance between fruity sweetness and a dry tartness that keeps it very drinkable. Clear notes of raspberry and some funkiness. Super well done, great beer.
