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!

Weirdly I like it! It’s a love/ hate beer- big nose, quite pungent. But it grows on you, seaweed literally! Salty.

Vraiment funky comme bière. La première sip surprend mais c est vraiment bien fait! J’ai aimé ++. Marin, léger, très frais.

Revisiting this in bottle this time. During Zwanze a few weeks ago it was on keg. The sea lettuce is very pungent, this a tide pool beer. Center bottle in photo

J’ai découvert ça en draft, tellement originale que j’étais obligé d’essayer. Pour être honnête, l’odeur est vraiment forte mais plutôt agréable par rapport à ce que j’imaginais. Je l’ai bu en galopin , très spéciale et unique. Ce n’est pas mon style

Très spéciale et unique, un léger goût salé, un nez marin. Ce n’est pas ce que je préfère, néanmoins belle découverte!

IS THIS NUMBER 1000????!!!!!!! In just over a year actually…no problem, right? If you like briny, which I do, this is incredible. What a fantastic beer. Half the Zwanze Day folks didn’t favor it.

Super unique, very fun to revisit again after Zwanze. I enjoy but can see this being polarizing.

The background on this vintage is a wild story. Get a lot of sea flavors in the aroma but the flavor is mostly subtle. Nice to taste this beer to its full potential vs what we had at Zwanze Day.

Sieht harmlos aus. Aber.. Pizza, Tomate, Pfeffer, leichter Hauch Spüli und alles in Sour. Brennt im Hals. Would recommend .. not. 🍅🍕🔥

Juicy grapey fruit salad aroma. Intensely raw tropical, oaky and mildly saline. Medium tart and body, light sweet. Tangy pineapple skin and tannic floral finish. Good balance and drinkability. Very pleasant.
