Cantillon Rose de Gambrinus

Big aroma of sour raspberry with a dash of cherry, along with some sweeter raspberry and horse blanket. Taste is really good, perfect amount of sour with a good balance between raspberry flesh and leather. One of the best fruit lambics I've had, just a tad short of Cantillon's Kriek.

Stunning sour with sharp taste and very fruity, one of my favs

I don't mean to state the obvious but even by sour beer standards this beer is extremely tart. A biting vinegar like astringent finish that for some one who is trying to begin drinking sour beer is a challenge. It's a stunning beer perfectly made. I'd start with Salty Kiss or Calypso however for your first sour.

I love sour beers and this was perfect a nice mix of sour and fruity.

Opens your eyes while closing your cheeks. By golly its sour but the raspberry thats froths up your nose prepares you a little so after a few sips you begin to get the hang of it.

This is a bit of a case sensation to normal beer drinkers so sour but with a set rasberry flavour. I love to experiment and would definitely recommend this one

I thought I liked sours but this one really does crank it up.

I can tell that in time it will probably become a favourite, but right now it's a little too much for me to enjoy.

The quality comes through though.

This is probably in my top 3 Cantillon beers. Its an amazing sour beer, with really nice fruitiness coming through. Drink quickly after buying as fruit flavours degrade over time. Within a year should be fine.

Let's get it straight - if you don't like your beers sour then you're not going to like this. End of story.

Pour it out and it looks like red wine vinegar, and at first sniff you'd probably think it was red wine vinegar with added raspberries. Get past that, though, and you've got possibly the best raspberry beer in existence.

None of your artificial flavourings or fruit syrups here, this is tooth-dissolvingly, toe-curlingly sour but the combination of raspberries, gueuze-like funk and high carbonation make this work superbly.

An acquired taste, to be sure, but well worth investigating if you're remotely interested in Belgian beer.
