Rosé de Gambrinus

Tap to rate

Raspberries from Serbia at 200 grams per litre, steeped two to three months in a lambic of around 20 months, then blended with a one-year lambic for the bottle fermentation. Because raspberry is a delicate fruit, the brewery picks a soft, fine lambic to carry it. Ruby coloured, tart and perfumed. Only fresh fruit is used, so each year's version differs with the harvest.

A deep ruby hue with transparent clarity, allowing the fruit's colour to dominate the glass. The head forms a delicate, persistent foam with fine lacing that clings to the walls. Moderate carbonation produces a gentle, steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Fresh raspberry dominates the nose with a perfumed, floral character that evolves as the beer warms. Subtle notes of fermented complexity emerge beneath, hinting at the aged lambic base without overwhelming the delicate fruit. The aromatic profile is brisk and inviting, drawing the nose back repeatedly.

◐ Taste

Tart acidity frames the entry, with bright raspberry fruit carrying through the mid-palate and building complexity from the underlying lambic. The interplay between fruit sweetness and lactic sourness creates a dynamic, mouth-watering sensation. Restrained bitterness (25 IBU) sits quietly in the background, allowing tartness and fruit to take centre stage.
