Zing — Botanic Sour with Ginger and Oranges — Ca' del Brado

Zing is part of the “The Wildest Can” project by Ca' del Brado, a craft brewery from Bologna (Emilia-Romagna): a true revolution in a can. Defined as a “Botanic Sour” by its creators, Zing is a mixed fermentation that rests and matures for months in the Bologna brewery cellar, enhanced with ginger and orange peels, both sweet and bitter. The aromas and flavors of these spices perfectly blend with the wild profile of the base beer, creating a truly unique bouquet.

The Wildest Can: Ca' del Brado’s revolution in a can

The Wildest Can is the project through which Ca' del Brado brings its wild fermentations into cans: sour, botanical, and complex beers, accessible in a modern format. Zing is one of the most successful expressions: the complexity of mixed fermentation meets the freshness of ginger and the depth of oranges in a one-of-a-kind result.
