Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailRosé de Cambrinus

Two barrels of our famously sour Kriek (cherry) du Cambridge take a jump to the left (and then a step to the right) with a significant addition of raspberries to each barrel, resulting in a new beer that’s no longer a Kriek, not quite a Framboise. We dub thee Rosé de Cambrinus in homage to the first lambic beer ever tasted by our Brewmaster (and still a favorite), Cantillon Brouwerij’s acclaimed Rosé de Gambrinus. Our Rosé presents itself with an artful blend of concentrated fruit flavor and aroma, and plenty of earthy funk in the finish. Both cherry and raspberry stand out, with enough sweetness to balance the significant but smooth acidity leading to a very dry finish. With its bright red hue and wispy foam, it opens up to express complex notes of stone fruits, toast and oak, a hint of almonds, and a wild-floral, tart finish while raspberry notes linger on the palate. A very limited release (less than 100 gallons will be available), Rosé de Cambrinus is sure to resonate with fans of traditional Belgian lambics and other sour beer styles.
