He stated that this beer was not aging particularly well, becoming too acetic with time. However, he conceded, "never say never". Additionally, Lou Pepe Framboise shares too many similarities with another regularly released beer, but according to him it is [[Cantillon_Magic_Lambic|Magic Lambic]], and not [[Cantillon_Rosé_de_Gambrinus|Rosé de Gambrinus]], which indeed became more aromatic with time, but only due to a change in the raspberry aromatic that evolved over the year (probably with global warming) rather than an increase in quantities added to the beer, which didn't happen. <ref name=LambicInfoConvo>Lambic.Info Interview with Jean Van Roy, february 2025</ref>
