Description

Lou Pepe Framboise is part of Cantillon's Lou Pepe series which is bottled on a regular basis. The series also contains the Lou Pepe Gueuze and Lou Pepe Kriek. Lou Pepe Framboise is made from two year old lambic that has been aged exclusively in used Bordeaux barrels. Whereas Cantillon's Kriek 100% Lambic and Rosé de Gambrinus lambics contain 200g of frozen fruit per liter, the Lou Pepe fruited beers contain about 300g of fresh fruit per liter.[1] To carbonate the beer, a small amount of sweet liquor is added after bottling causing the refermentation in the bottle. To carbonate the beer, a small amount of sweet liquor is added after bottling causing the refermentation in the bottle.

According to Cantillon's official website, "the particular name of these beers comes from the south-west of France, a region the Cantillon family is very fond of. In this beautiful region, the grandfather is called Lou Pepe."[1]
