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.

Super citrusy, good but some time may allow the lambic to shine. The Whale is trash

In the end nice one, of course better than the last one. Not so special, not so heavy on lambic notes, some far soapy note, in the end recalls more a lemon tea. 3.9

Interesting with perfumy citrus oils being most prominent in the nose. Crisp, clean, light and with lots of citrus in the taste and aftertaste. Fun!

Strong citruses in aroma. In taste also citruses (mostly oranges). Nicely sour. Typical lambic tartness is boosted by citrus sourness. Very refreshing.

Zdominowane przez dodatki, w miarę ogrzewania wychodzi trochę lambikowy charakter ale gdzieś tam w tle. Orzeźwiające.
