Cantillon Rosé de Gambrinus

Cantillion Rosé de Gambrinus is the rosé champagne of beers. The pink color is a dead ringer for rosé wine, while the mouth feel mimics champagne with a light, spritzy body and bone dry finish. 

Rosé de Gambrinus is a lambic lightly flavored with whole raspberries. The aroma and flavor of this beer never show the same face, they differ with each sniff and sip. The aroma is fruit forward with a strong note of fresh raspberries as well as hints of musky wild yeast, funk, iron and copper. The flavor predominantly consists of raspberry followed by a tart finish, but there is little sweetness to the raspberry flavor. It also has elements of raspberry seed and brettanomyces (wild yeast).
