Ashanti is the little sister of our 2022 Zwanze, Lambic with Gorilla pepper.
Same recipe, same pepper, but slightly more focused on the Lambic side compared to the first blend.
The spicy, fruity, and obviously peppery side is still very present and harmonizes superbly with the natural power of our Lambic.
The name of the beer comes from the inhabitants of the neighboring land, the Ashanti Kingdom, who were famous traders of this pepper.
This pepper is available to purchase at Sandrine’s store, Misao La Maison des Poivres, in Brussels. She also collected the pepper left over in the tanks after macerations and then dried it. This Lambic-infused version is also available to purchase at Misao.

Ratebeer Odense, November Tasting. Cloudy golden with a lasting white head. Great aroma of Cantillon funk and aromatic pepper corns. Dry and tart funky flavour with perfumed pepper and a slightly hot finish.

On tap @Mashroom (Rome). Giallo torbido, schiuma bianca media, abbastanza persistente. Al naso sentori di pepe, balsamici, floreali, leggermente citrico, scorza di limone, stalla. In bocca ha una acidità media, un carattere vinoso, con il pepe a rinfrescare e a donare un certo fascino esotico alla bevuta. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Particolarissima e molto ben riuscita.

Sample at Snally2024. Pours mostly cleared with some white head. Big funky nose but the pepper really presents. The flavor is distractingly herbal and soapy. Astringent finish. It's unique, don't get me wrong, but this isn't their best.
