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.

Still a good amount of raspberry left, sour and tart, some extra funk, wet wood, soft acidity. Very nice.

28 sept 2015. W aromacie wciaz intensywne maliny z o dziwo rabarbarem, wymieszane z dzikoscia, mniej grzeczna niz w swiezym, skorzana dosc, zero jakichs piwnicznych aromatow. W uscie zywe, mocno nasycone, zaskakujaco kwasne. Trzyma klase acz ciut za stary

0,375l from bottle at Känguruh pub Vienna. Bottled 03/2015. Red clear color, obvious carbonation, small pink head. Smells of funk, barnyard, light fruit notes. Light body, medium carb, light mouthfeel. Tastes lightly sour, fruits, light raspberry, funk, green apples. Finishes sour with green apples and light raspberry notes. Decent, raspberry notes are quite hidden behind all the sourness. 7, 4, 7, 3, 14 -> 3.5
