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.

Я сегодня мыла пол с цитрусовой химозой для пола. Это на вкус и запах так же. Худшее пиво за вечер.

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.

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。

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

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.

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。

Bon goût d'agrumes, pledge, savon. Le fait que le baril est resté 1 mois au chaud à la SAQ ne doit pas avoir aidé.

Wasn’t a favorite of the day. Light in flavor. Citrus starts to really shine through when the beer warms

Have been trying and failing to attend Zwanze for years, now I've made it! Not massively in love with this, sour Robinsons squash, some bitterness, not hugely complex. Fine! Cheers! [Left]
