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.

Weird, a lot of my friends had this at Zwanze in 2021 and didn’t seem to love it. For me it is great, definitely orange but not overpowering. I’m in on this one

Lambic is shining more this time, less perfume, more soft funk, more stone fruit, but loads of orange, kumquat & citrus pith. Seems like is benefitting from age, probably will get even better.

Kwas i derka na przyjemnym umiarkowanym poziomie, intensywnie cytrusowy, chyba oczekiwałem czegoś więcej.

The hint of orange makes this pop with flavor

Pas très geuze-like, très sur l'orange pas super mûre, grosse acidité mais sans être désagréable. Tellement le fun et différent!

Still slightly reminiscent of dish soap but it’s getting better for every time I try it.

Voor mij de minste van de 3. Toch nog behoorlijk goed, hoor.

Lambic met sinaasappel. Vult elkaar mooi aan, het zuur van de Lambic en sinaasappel en het wat bittere van de schil in de afdronk.
