Cantillon Framboise
From Lambic.Info
Description
Cantillon Framboise is 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 stated that they had more bottles of framboise than of kriek in his inventory for 1909-1910, which was reaffirmed by Jean Van Roy during the Lambic Summit, 2010.[1][2] Framboise disappeared during World War I. In the 1970s, the production of raspberry lambic started again at Cantillon. Only two labeled batches of framboise were ever produced.
Unsubstantiated Stories
It is unknown if vanilla was used in any batch other than 1986.
