🌍 Belgium · Fruit Lambic · One of 15 Fruit Lambics in hopIQ

Rhubarb blended with lambic of one and two years. The tart, slightly astringent stalk meets the drier acidity of the lambic — a pairing the brewer describes as obvious to him, given that rhubarb wine is a Belgian classic. Copper coloured, tart and fruity, with the astringency sharpening the finish. It was the first Zwanze, made in tiny quantity in 2008 and repeated at larger volume in 2012.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Nath

Appearance

Copper-hued and brilliantly clear, with a fine mousse that dissipates steadily. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a gentle liveliness to the glass. Lacing clings delicately to the sides as the beer recedes.

Aroma

The nose leads with bright rhubarb tartness—green stalk and tart stone fruit—layered beneath with earthy, funky notes from the blended lambic base. Subtle floral undertones emerge, with a faint hay-like mustiness that speaks to the beer's mixed vintage composition.

Taste

Entry is crisp and mouth-drying, rhubarb's astringency meeting the vinous acidity of aged lambic. The mid-palate balances tart fruit against a subtle grain backdrop, with a grainy dryness building through the middle. Bitterness is gentle and restrained, allowing the fruit's green edge and the lambic's structured sourness to dominate.

Finish

The finish is notably long and sharp, the rhubarb's stalk-like astringency lingering with acidity. A pleasant puckering quality persists, leaving the palate cleansed and refreshed.
