"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.

Fruity and sour, a bit tart and dry. Red raspberries, a bit of earthy funk, smooth, low acidity, rich. Excellent.

pinkish ruby colour, no head at all; aroma and taste of lemon and sour cherry juice, raspberry, some acetone and earthy-cellary notes; quite good one

Freshly bottled at the brewery. Fruity nose. The beer starts very fruity. Tons of raspberries with not much carbonation. Deeply fruity. Great sour fresh raspberries with horse blanket funk in the back. Great fruitiness.

Bière pression bue au Bierbuik a Lille. Robe très rose façon bière à la cerise. Nez acidulé, bouche très acide dans la tradition des gueuze, bouche légèrement fermière, notes de foin.

Bottle from HavnensVinOgTobak. Pours cloudy dark pale red with tiny vanishing pink head. Aroma is intense raspberry, vinegar, yeast, sugar strawberry, redcurrant, soap and fresh roses. Taste is light to medium sweet and very acidic. Bosy is oily with fizzy carbonation. Finish is long and mostly sour with notes of red berries, vinegar, yeast, soap, roses, perfume and a slightly unpleasant earthy and funky end that I cannot pin down.

Bottle at home in Hackney - received as a gift from Henrik. Cheers! Pours clear reddish pink with a frothy, pink head that settles into a cream. Lightly sweet with lovely fresh, fleshy and tart raspberries, sturdy and stable acidity, soft funk, mellow seedy bitterness. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Clean finish, lightly drying, further juicy raspberry, quenching tartness. Outstanding. These Cantillon guys really know their stuff!

5 years old. The color has dulled a bit, as has the fruit. It’s deep funky and earthy with some raspberry jam. Lovely. Very carbonated.

Ruby colour, hazy, no head. Aroma is balsamico, raspberry or rather homemade raspberry wine, some cherry. Medium sour, not too aggressive. Flat carbonation. Very good, but lacks something to be great. Tap in Techie's.
