Here’s some info about the Cantillon Zwanze 2017 beer from Jean Van Roy:
“As you know already this year the Zwanze is dedicated to my son Sylvain and we have chosen to mix tea with Lambic.
Sylvain was asking for a fruity tea and, after a nice tasting, we chose a semi fermented blue tea, Feng Huang Dan Cong.
From a cold infusion, I used leaves with a one and two years old Lambic blend.
The result is well balanced. Smell is close to a fruity Lambic with more dryness.
The first sip is fruity, the astringency coming later reminds the tea with a very long lingering finish.
The beer evolves very fast in the glass, you can advise your customer to let it breath a little to have an idea of the taste evolution.”
