Cantillon Brewing Co.: Rose de Gambrinus

Rose de Gambrinus

Rue Gheude Straat 56
Brussels, Belgium



Aroma: (11/12)
Very fruity with big raspberry aromas. This reminds
me of the New Glarus Raspberry tart.
Appearance: (3/3)
Just the appearance of this beer invites me to drink
it! It’s bright red in color,tiny-bubbled, one fingered
rose-colored head with bubbles racing to the top –
very effervescent and champaigne-like.
Flavor: (19/20)
The raspberry forward aroma dominates, but not in
the flavor. The tartness starts at the front of the
tongue, raspberries through the middle and the
sourness at the back of the tongue – with a touch a
funkiness.  Absolutely wonderful and balanced!
Mouthfeel: (5/5)
The lambic style lends to a light mouthfeel with high
carbonation, this beer definitely is that. The sourness
on the back of the tongue is awesome.
Overall Impression: (10/10)
This lambic is absolutely fantastic.  Everything you
Would want in a Belgian lambic and more. Not
sweet, like most American versions and Lindeman
Framboise.  The balance is perfect and the best
I’ve had as yet.

TOTAL: 48/50
