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.

Smell is unmistakably beets. Taste is also pretty beetlike. Love the experimentation, but from someone that loves beets, pretty so so in a lambic. 3.9

Wow, lots and lots of beets. Earthy after the beet hits first. Mellows on the aftertaste.

I said on the way to the fest to Jen S. I wasn’t sure if I would like a beetroot beer, and she said it might be nicely sweet and a good lambic complement. Nope! Bitter and off putting, just like beets.

Very direct beets. I like beets, but I can see why this would be divisive.

Lovely sharpness, light earthy, and hint of pickle like quality acidity, very good.

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

Had this at Side Project Zwanze. Lambic and some earthy notes on the nose. Beautiful deep red color. The palate is mainly an earthy beet flavor with some acidity and oakiness to round it out. 2/5 tartness. Crisp finish. Very interesting few.
