Description

Cantillon Rosé De Gambrinus is a traditional raspberry lambic bottled regularly by Cantillon. Its fruit content is generally around 200g of raspberries per liter of lambic. The fruiting process for Rosé De Gambrinus consists of taking pre-frozen raspberries and placing them in stainless steel tanks with young lambic for a saturation period of 1-2 months. It is then transferred oak barrels for further maturation.

History / Other Notes

Raspberry (Framboise) lambic has a long, but inconsistent history with Cantillon. According to Cantillon's website, "Paul Cantillon mentions a higher number of bottles of Framboise than of Kriek in his inventory for 1909-1910"[1], disappeared during World War I, then disappeared then sometime in the 1930's. In the 1970's the production of raspberry lambic started again at Cantillon. The name Rosé de Gambrinus first made an appearance on a bottle in 1986 with the base lambic having been brewed in 1984. It has been in Cantillon's regular lineup ever since. There have been slight variations to the Rosé De Gambrinus label design over the years, most notably clothing the woman, but it has remained generally consistent throughout its existence.
