== History / Other Notes ==

For Zwanze 2016, the brewery decided to loosely follow a recipe that was used for [[Cantillon_Framboise|Cantillon Framboise]]. According to Jean, "now the Zwanze 2016, I think, will be a beer we used to produce in the 80s and 90s: the old framboise Cantillon. When we used raspberries from Belgium, the taste was nice, but the color was not so beautiful. It was a bit old rose. To get a bit more color to the beer, we blended the raspberry beer with 25 ~~percent~~ of cherry ~~Lambic~~ and a bit of vanilla." <ref name="Zwanze 2016"> [http://www.bierversuche.ch/blog/2016/05/interview-with-jean-van-roy-of-brasserie-cantillon Interview with Jean Van Roy] - bierversuche.ch </ref>
