Cantillon - Rosé de Gambrinus - 5% - 37.5cl - Bte
Description
« "It has the colour of onion skin", said a voice behind me. It was Raymond Coumans. He was admiring the colour of the raspberry lambic reflecting in the red copper of the buckets used to empty the barrels. At that time (1986), "Raspberry-Lambic" already was synonymous with a sweet, artificially flavoured beer. This is why we decided to distinguish our beer from the other raspberry beers. Raymond proposed to call it a rosé, dedicated not to Bacchus but to Gambrinus. The process to make this beer is identical to the one to make Kriek. When young, the Rosé de Gambrinus will still present its full fruity taste. Later on, the lambic taste will become dominant at the expense of the fruit taste. »
Anderlecht, Region of Brussels - BelgiumFounded at the dawn of the twentieth century, when each district still had its own brewery, which is now distributed among the surrounding cafes and taverns, the Cantillon brewery is' the last representative of Brussels brewing craftsmanship.When in the early 1970s, Jean-Pierre Van Roy, spouse of the founder's granddaughter, took over, business went badly. Small family breweries are closing one after the other for the benefit of industrial production companies. The real lambic (base of the gueuze) is in the process of disappearing, drafted by beers of less character, corresponding better to the evolution of consumer taste (more sugar and less bitterness) and easier and faster to produce in large quantities. After having succeeded in turning the business around, he made a bet to return to traditional production methods and recipes.
