History / Other Notes
Cantillon is the first known lambic blender to make a Framboise. In 1909, Jean Van Roy reports that Cantillon made more Framboise than Kriek. This continued until production of Framboise stopped during World War I. [1] Framboise was reintroduced in the 1980s when the two batches listed below were made.
Unsubstantiated Stories
It is unknown if any unlabeled bottles of Framboise were produced between World War I and 1982. It is also unclear if the blend described above for the the 1986 bottle matches that of any other Framboise batches.
