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!

Strange. Sour, briney, I don't know what sea lettuce is supposed to taste like, so... Not sure how to judge this one

Excellente. Un bonus pour le procédé de fabrication et l’audace de faire ce type de bière originale. Merci Cantillon.

Incroyable. Tellement originale. Salée, arômes d’algues. Avec les arômes classiques du lambic.

Mais oui ! Gros bonus originalité qui fait que tu ne sais pas vraiment identifier le goût (algue ou pas algue) mais qui est tellement bon et agréable ! Cantillon quoi 😁

Sour cucumber briney aroma. Mmmm briney cucumber on the flavor but in a very good way.

I absolutely hate this. I was drinking next to someone who loved it. I try not to yuck someone’s yum. This tasted like sea water, crab, and pickle juice. The smell was incredibly offensive.

Probably the most insane nose of any beer I've had. Taste is a lot milder thankfully. Edit: as it warmed, became intense. Tons of funk, but not in the good way. Glad I tried, not my jam.

Thanks Jean! Mye sjøaroma, men smaksmessig mye mer balansert. Oliven, nori, saltvann, syrlig. Spennende, og noe helt annet enn i februar.

En quête d'originalité je suis servi. On est directement transporté sur la côte Bretonne avec cette gueuze aux algues.

Draft @ La Capsule, Arras. Hazy golden colour, white foam. Funky nose with salty notes, seaweed, some fruitiness, citrussy and lemony. Strange.

Funky, briny, slightly sour tart. Reminiscent of a rum agricole. Not quite mushrooms, but not quite a savory cocktail onion.
