"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.

Keg at The Star & Garter, Bromley. Red pour with a light pink head. Aromas of raspberry jam, red berries, touch of almond. Flavours of raspberry jam, tart red fruits, quite a dry number. Tart dry aftertaste.

Been looking for this for years. So lovely. Tons of razz but not incredibly tart, and not sweet. Perfectly balanced, with faint whispers of funk. Crazy foam. March 2021

Excellent. Good raspberry flavor, slightly tart and funky but balanced. Any time I find Cantillon is a happy occasion!

Tap @Kufle i Kapsle in Warsaw-Poland. Yes, that’s the closest color to the skin of a red onion, hazy, rosee foam lowering quick. Nose: raspberry candy, balsamic, peppermint, thyme, a bit acetic. Mouth: sparkling, red wild fruit, lemony, some hints of lactose-yogurt.
