"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.

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.

Taster at home courtesy of Sander, big thanks. redish clear color, small pink head. smells raspberries, lactic, some funk, barnyard, bit parfumy. nice smell. medium body, soft carbonation. tastes raspberries, some funk, citric, bit lactic, grassy. finishes dry and rather sour with notes of raspberries, grass and citrus. overall good but just very sour, balance not that great, but liked the funky notes. Overall still quite good though.
