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 with Steve, thanks! Drunk during a hail storm at Higgins Tap Room. Funky brett strawberry nose & color/raspberry on the tongue. Fat flavor, super complex, a dream of sour beers. The fruit flavor really comes through unlike in many sours. Excellent!

Bottles at Bruges Beer Festival and at home (birthday gift from Pam). Ruby body with a faint haze and a short-lived pink head. Steady carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of rose petal, lemonade and raspberry. Flavour of tart raspberry and bitter lemon with a very dry finish. Thin body with a slick texture. Light fizz. Clean and tart.
