Zwanze 2021 - Parasol

Lambic - Fruit

Here at Cantillon, we’re no strangers to experimentation. In the early 50’s, Paul Cantillon tried blending Lambic and oranges. The result wasn’t exactly spectacular. The refermentation in the bottles was so strong, that the brewery workers at the time were forced to sprint past the bottles through the cellar in order to avoid being hit by popping corks and drenched in beer. Our grandfather Marcel Cantillon loved this story, and often loved to tell it to us as children. So 70 years later, inspired by our great-grandfather, we’ve made a special blend of Lambic and citrus (a blend featuring mostly oranges) in his honor. The acidity of the beer and the fruit and the freshness of the citrus in contrast to the bitterness of their zests makes for a particularly thirst-quenching Zwanze. The name Parasol will remind my fellow Belgians of a certain age of the orange-flavored soft-drink of the same name we used to drink back in the day.

時間経って樽の位置が変わったせいか、柑橘の皮の苦味の印象が強くなったな。バランス好みになったな。

LCI I was a fan! Very zesty-spicey, maybe some more fruit-sweet components had brought it more into Fou Foune direction. Digging it.

Late Zwanze check in. On the right. Really enjoyed this years vintage. Lots of orange rind and citrus on the nose. Taste followed but was so refreshing. Fantastic balance of acidity here

Draft version, more balance than last time but still needs time, especially on the palate

Assez étrange, ça manque pas d'agrumes pentoute en tk, c'est punché. Pas vraiment de funk, les fruits sont par dessus toute!

Wasn’t sure what I’d think about the citrus but it’s good.

Finalement! C’est intéressant de goûter une Cantillon aux agrumes, le funk et la pelure vont bien ensemble… mais y’a de la pelure en tabarouette. Ça laisse une amertume âcre tannante en finale. On va dire que ça invite la prochaine gorgée! Santé 🎉

Plutôt une sour aux agrumes. Zeste d’orange sans gros funk.

M'attendais a goûter à du pine sol liquide, pis cest pas mal le cas. Infect. En réchauffant la signature OG Bio ressort davantage. Mais calisse, rendu la j'aurais préféré sans gréments

Plus tôt ce pm. Clairement pas ma meilleure de la brasserie mais j’aime l’audace derrière la tentative de jouer avec les agrumes dans une gueuze. Belle gueuze avec arrière goût d’orange, clémentine et de zeste! Bon Zwanze day à tous!!
