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.

Het hele frisse fruitige is er nog wel maar niet meer zo nadrukkelijk aanwezig als bij een ‘verse’. Redelijk zuur toch wel, meer dan verwacht, framboos nog wel aanwezig, hout, iets wrang. Al

FLN, delicious funky raspberry jam, carby but settles, mostly barn funk but some butt funk from the dry cork I imagine, but gone with the wind.

Bottled 11 december 2019. Soft pop only, gorgeous reddish colour with fine, pink foam. Smells buckets of raspberries, soft mouthfeel, light carbonation. Taste is lightly acidic, pretty woody, and super fruity. So much soft raspberry, not harsh at all.
