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.

Aroomis tsitrusekoore üleküllus ja seebisus, mis lambicu puhul on pigem eemaletõukav. Maitses ülitugev C-vitamiini üleküllus, mis jätab lambicule omase happe ja kerge maaläheduse ikka väga tagaplaanile. Minu hinnangul on siin tsitrusega liiale mindud.

Holy citrus Batman! Intense! I can taste each distinct fruit used: lemon, kumquat and orange. This is nice and the carbonation is creamy but again - very intense - probably because of the pith and the natural oils it contains

In nose is a fucking mirinda, citrus, floral, light funk... Medium body and smooth mouthfeel. In mouth funk, floral, citrusy, hay notes... Interesting, but forgettable

Zwanze Day @ Hoppy Pub: Very unique. Didn't find it bad at all. Quite citrusy & zesty, orange peel, astringent & tart. Perhaps, lambic character is a bit understated, but it's still tasty.

During Zwanze Day Thessaloniki. Another unique offering by Cantillon. Very pleasant to drink. Citrus notes, with orange being very present too. Medium carbonation with a sparkling feeling in the aftertaste

Very LCI. Zwanze should always be something different and a bit experimental. I liked the kick of orange and spizziness. More agressive bubble as usual. However the taste if the beer was not so multilayered. Still, this brew was enjoyable.

Sin ser mi estilo preferido reconozco que está buena. Mucha naranja, ácida y amarga pero se bebe muy fácil. De trago medio-largo.

Упс, потеряли виновника торжества) но ничего, тут вещь явно не по сезону, такое летом да в жару, возможно будет прям ок, но молодым воспринимается как что-то химозное и коктейльное...горчинка на послевкусие и куча цедры. С натяжкой

Finalement! C’est intéressant de goûter une Cantillon aux agrumes, le funk et la pelure vont bien ensemble… mais y’a de la pelure en tabarouette. Ça laisse une amertume âcre tannante en finale. On va dire que ça invite la prochaine gorgée! Santé 🎉

Plutôt une sour aux agrumes. Zeste d’orange sans gros funk.

Oh I do like this. Heaps of orange, not too thick/cloying, light and pleasantly bitter. Very cleverly made.

Agrumes pas mal, ça feel pamplemousse rose. Malheureusement quelque chose qui me rappelle le produit nettoyant aussi donc difficile d'apprécier. Pas mauvais mais
