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!

Très surprenant, iode et algues mais aussi un côté mango en bouche. C'est assez destabilisant

This really is like seaweed from the ocean. This would be 🔥 with some sushi. Kind of has notes of olive, salinity. This is fun!

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!

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

I tried a few glasses, still tasting apple jam! A hint of salinity and kelp, some umami, but not on the main stage. I quite like it.

This was very kelp forward. I couldn’t smell it while drinking it. The smell was worse than the taste. It just became grating to drink after a while.

Pouring from the 'outside' bar. Much more complex, more saltiness and umani. The difference between the 'inside' and 'outside' pourings is really disappointing.

Udało się jeszcze dorwać. No bardzo smaczne. Dzikie, słone, z delikatnym morskim akcentem. A nawet nie tak delikatnym. Czuć że ta sałata tu jest dodana. Bardzo fajnie że takie rzeczy się dzieją zaraz obok i oby więcej takich wydarzeń!!!

Not my style. But they achieved what they wanted. Saltwater beer. Extreme salinity. Drinking the ocean

Not gonna lie, not the biggest fan of this year's Zwanze. The nose on this is super seaweed which really throws me off due to its briney umami and saline dominant profile. It does open up after a few sips, smooth mouthfeel, w apricot and mango stone fruit
