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.

Très orange et acétique. Le côté vinaigre emplit la fin de bouche. J’aurais préféré qu’elle soit plus acidulée

Zwanze 2021. Jag kallade den lite styvmoderligt för brustabletten under kvällen, smakade resorb/multivitamin. Hyfsat god apelsinton kall, men allt mer aggressiv med värme; till slut olidligt så. Hint av citron. Tog mig inte igenom 20cl på hela Zwanze.

オレンジ。洗剤を彷彿と。ジューシーでかなり濃い味わい。後口は少し苦味。泡立ちが強い。オレンジ、レモン、金柑を使っているらしい。

Weird, but in a good way. First sip was like drinking a watered down version of toilet cleaner. So intense orangey notes with added sourness. Mellowed out in the glass, and ended up almost enjoyable.

It was funny but controversial and confusing: orange leaves a lot of acidity and it looks like an orange juice. The smell is like a detergent.

Orange, kumquat, passionfruit, and clove in the aromas in a very mild wild-funkiness. Nicely carbonated. Smooth mouthfeel. Bubbly and effervescent texture. Light-bodied. Refreshing and juicy! Nice acidity with citrusy juiciness.

big cedar, yet beautiful. I sat around with this one for a moment while the others got brought to the table. Reminded me of skin contact wine yet some crazy alsatian experiment
