Zwanze 2024 - MMXXIV

Lambic - Gueuze

A little over a year ago, we were in Brittany to submerge a few dozen bottles of Gueuze in the sea as a collaboration with Sylvain, an abalone farmer in Finistère. These bottles are still fermenting at a depth of 10 meters in the company of his charming creatures. Once a month, Sylvain brings up the cages to add various types of algae for the mollusks to feed on. We tasted these same algae in tartare during our visit, and the idea came to us to try them in maceration with Lambic to create a partnership between the brewery and Sylvain's company. After several attempts, it turned out that seaweed, specifically the sea lettuce, gave the best result. The beer is, of course, very different from the fruity, vinous, or floral tastes traditionally found in our products. This Zwanze 2024 exudes aromas of exotic fruits; it has notes of iodine with a slight salinity reminiscent of oysters. In short, a very different beer from what we are used to discovering at Cantillon - a true Zwanze!

Strong smell of ripe/cooked banana but that doesn’t come through in the taste. Fairly mellow…after drinking other bottles of cantillon.

Soooooooooo..... What to say about a seaweed beer? Smells like the ocean and armpits. Has a Salty, oyster and slightly pickled flavor. Don't hate it, but certainly don't love it either. Happy Zwanze Day folks!

On tap at Champ de Soleil in Tokyo. Hazy golden color. Nice aroma of the sea. Light umami and banana notes. Medium plus body. Mild acidity. Some barnyard funk. Super easy to drink. Excellent.

カンティヨンを色々5杯飲んで戻った。海苔だねえ。ちょっと柑橘強めに感じるようになったかな。口か樽位置か?意識したせいかトマト香というよりは海苔な香りの方を最初から感じるな。冷静に飲むとこの塩味とランビックというのは悪くない組合せな気がする。ある意味スポドリに通じる組合せなのか、と。そういう意味では海苔というか味噌汁を飲まない海外なら受ける可能性があるのかも。

Green olive on the first sip, and definitely briney, but really mellowed as it went and the base beer started to come through.

Pours gold with light haze and no head. Aromas of peach skins. leather, green konbu like seaweed, light tangy yogurt with a light acetic vinegary note. Peaches and leather with green swewaeed blending seamlessly in the background.

Really interesting. Decent stone fruit in the nose - think leach and even more so, apricot. Body carries ut all nicely. Salinity is expected but not overwhelming until it warms. Then it drives it further. Semi-dry throughout.

2024.04.20. Too much seaweed characters.. I repeat, too much…! The base was a quite moderate lambic with citrusy sourness and stone-fruit-like sweetness. But the flavors were not so impressive that the seaweed characters overtook the whole palate.

Nose is salty, briney like pickle juice, apple juice. Pretty mild geuze. Finishes with saltiness. Overall a nice drinker for a spring afternoon.

미역처럼 미끄러운 질감. 복숭아 느낌이 은은하게 난다. 드래프트 람빅답게 묽은 느낌도 강하다. 마신 후에도 뭔가 입 안이 꽉 차는 여운이 난다. 해조류 느낌이 강하다. 크게 한방 터뜨리면 좋을텐데 그런 느낌은 잘 안 나서 아쉽다. 복숭아 등 과일 맛이 더 쎄게 치고 들어왔으면 좋았을 것 같다. 막판에 신 맛이 조금 더 치고 올라오는 느낌이다.

黃色、澄清度低、無酒帽。香氣呈現微妙但飽滿的果實、海苔醬、蘋果、海風與隱晦的鮮味與發酵野性。入口酒體輕盈、酸韻婉約且帶少量鹹味。風味主軸為隨溫度上升而增強的海藻與適切的gueuze基底、果感充足但酸韻比預期低、少量乳酸後帶低度汗水。穀物與酒花可忽略,收尾乾,尾韻仍帶紮實的海藻輪廓,尾韻基酒會再帶出少許橄欖
