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!

It’s not Zwanze Day but I’m feeling real lucky right now. Saline and iodine are the notes that immediately jump out, but beautiful exotic fruits back the experience up. Delicious and very weird.

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.

Olives, kelp and sea water. The nose is super aggressive. It literally pushes me away from the glass. Failed experiment.

After a long day of drinking this did not hit the spot. Almost rotten brine. Imagine it’s what algae would taste like. Way off the 2022 Zwanze and can’t imagine it’ll be redone.

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

There might be some decent note from the seaweed, but this beer is totally WRONG. Worst zwanze for me, hands down. The sea note has taken over, and not a clean sea, like the ones in Campania full of illegal dumping with mussels growing everywhere...

Carlos pagame la gasolina. Hay que tenerlos muy bien puestos para hacer algo asi. OK, lleva a alga y sabe a algas pero esto no es ético. Huele y sabe a mar. Es pescado en salmuera. Truco: si te tapas la nariz esta buena. PD: Media hora después repite

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

Just weird, aroma in really briney and seafood. Taste kind of follows, like juice olives were in mixed with oysters. Better if you hold your nose, but still not pleasant. Eating based on how much I personally enjoyed this beer.

Ik lust geen vis of oesters, dus deze editie is minder iets voor mij. Wel een interessant experiment en zeker waard om te proberen.
