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.

Volvemos a cumplir como cada año! Las naranjas valencianas son las protagonistas, aportant una amargor ligera y el citrico de la fruta que recuerda a su piel.

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

Actually is some what remniscent of a citrus based soda, very spritzy and minorly tart, quite the treat

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

This was fine but not quite what I was hoping for from a citrus lambic. Too much zest/rind. Reminiscent of a low grade industrial cleaner. Fun to try but don’t need to revisit anytime soon.

Brisk and sweet orange meets tart lemon. Combination works. Tartness of lambic takes over on midway. 3.9

Tart citrus and zesty lemon peel. More traditional lambicy notes in the middle. Finishes with orange pulp and oakymess. Pleasant, easy and summery. 3.9

Pomarańcze, zest, kwiatowo, bergamotka, gówienko + rzeczywiście nieco kibelkowo się to kojarzy. W smaku ładny, cytrusowy kwasik, lekko dzikie, dosyć solidna gorzkość, zest, albedo mocno. Finisz bardzo soczysty i przyjemny. 3.9 na zachętę

Œil : orangé, col fin. Nez : agrumes, kumquat bien présent, oranges. Bouche : grosses notes d’agrumes, oranges/kumquat, acidité très très légère, acidité string encre en fin. Côté lambic fort effacé mériterait peut être de vieillir un peu.

So disappointed….so so so disappointed. Worst beer out of every Cantillon at Zwanze Day. Would be happy with it for a lambic shelfie, not happy for what it is.
