Zwanze 2020 - Brettrave

Lambic - Fruit

This year, we wanted to return to our roots, which inspired the special blend for Zwanze 2020: Lambic with beetroot! The beer's color is intensly red, fluorescent even, and the nose is fruity yet quite earthy. The palate is complex, a nice balance between the acidity of the Lambic and the roundness of the beetroot.

Tastes much better than it smells. Lots of green pepper on the nose.

Smells of cherry and herbal tea, taste minorly of beet powder and has a twang of medicinal vibes. Quite interesting

Only fitting to close out the weekend with one last Zwanze pour. The color from the beetroot is a dead giveaway, but the nose doesn't have a ton of earthiness like I expected. Super funky and really well balanced in terms of the beet flavor. Really like!

Very interesting beet lambic - reminded me of a slightly peated scotch finish from the heavy vegetation, good to sip on but probably not my favorite

This was SUPER beat-y. You have to like beat to enjoy. I like beat, but don't love it. Very earthy/dirt/beat flavored. That being said, I think it tasted exactly like what they were going for, it's just a bit strong/polarizing

An acquired taste, acidic and really earthy like you are eaten an freshly picked root with the soil still attached. And I love it!

Outstanding. Very reminiscent of earlier batches of FF Beets Rhymes & Life. Very earthy and delectable beet flavor with a satisfying tartness.

Beautifully tart and sour with an underlying, but noticeable earthiness. I would like it better if the earthy notes didn't get stronger and the sour/tart nobles weaker as it warms ,- but still fabulous
