History / Other Notes
For Zwanze 2016, the brewery decided to loosely follow a recipe that was used for 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." [1]
For Zwanze 2016, raspberry lambic was blended with blueberry lambic with a small addition of vanilla added for flavor. The ratios are 82% rapberry lambic to 18% blueberry lambic with .05% vanilla added.
