In 2025 after rumours that the beer was discontinued due to fruit increase in [[Cantillon_Rosé_de_Gambrinus|Rosé de Gambrinus]] making these beers too similar, Jean Van Roy confirmed that he didn't plan to release a new Lou Pepe Framboise in the future as it wasn't particularely aging well, becoming too acetic with time, though he conceeded, "never say never". There is also too many similarities with another beer release regularely, but according to him it is [[Cantillon_Magic_Lambic|Magic Lambic]], and not [[Cantillon_Rosé_de_Gambrinus|Rosé de Gambrinus]] which became indeed more aromatic with time, but it is only due to a change in the raspberry aromatic that evolved over the year (probably with global warming) rather than an increase in quantities added to the beer, which didn't happen. <ref name=LambicInfoConvo>Lambic.Info Interview with Jean Van Roy, february 2025</ref>
