"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.

Bottle at Mon Petit Cafe, after listening to Sam. Clear ruby. Black currant, strawberry, summer fruit, fresh. Taste is full, round, all the red fruits, soft and light with a wonderful refreshing tartness. This is not too sweet and not too sour. Not sticky at all. This is lovely.

Bottle. Not had in a while. Nose is rich funk, wheat, pastry, raspberry, strawberry, hint of vanilla, faint green apple, faintest hint of cheese. Taste is tart raspberry, leading to vanilla, lots and lots of brett, pastry, green apple, raspberry and strawberry, yogurt, lemon juice and green apple. Bone dry finish.
Drinkable, yet complex. Brilliant.

Kicsi, nem túl tartós rózsaszín hab, málnalé szín. Intenzív, nagyon kellemes, málnás, istállós illat. Intenzív málnás savanyúval indít, ami gyorsan visszahúzódik, teret adva a 2 éves lambic istállós, gyümölcsös ízeinek. Lecsngéskor a hordó fás, vaníliás jegyei sejlenek föl. Könnyű, közepesen szénsavas, csak egész picit kesernyés. Isteni finom.
