Cantillon Framboise
Description
Cantillon Framboise a raspberry lambic. It is the predecessor to Rose de Gambrinus. The 1986 label states that this beer contains 75% Framboise, 25% Kriek, and 0.05% Vanilla. This is the only Cantillon beer known to have vanilla.
History / Other Notes
Cantillon is the first known lambic blender to make a Framboise. Paul Cantillon mentions that they had more bottles of Framboise than of Kriek in his inventory for 1909-1910. [1][2]. Framboise disappeared during World War I. In the 1970's the production of raspberry lambic started again at Cantillon. Only two labeled batches of Framboise were ever produced.
Unsubstantiated Stories
It is unknown if any unlabeled bottles of Framboise were produced between World War I and 1982. It is also unclear if vanilla was used in any batch other than 1986.
