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!

Such an amazing Gueze. Honored to drink this, as Garden Path/Great Northern was the only establishment in the state of Washington that got this beer. The notes of sea lettuce/salt water were present in the nose, but more subtle in the tasting. Wonderful!

Shitting lovely. Aroma is a medley of things but the flavour is grand. All pickley minerals, like chewing on fresh sea belt and ulva. Lil lick of a limpet in there too. Salty lad, proper special x

김, 미역향 김부각 좀 더 짠 맛있고 조미김 느낌이 약간 떫은 느낌도 있고 은근히 백포도 느낌도. 난 너무 좋다ㅑ

Delikatne, łagodne, może faktycznie delikatny banan w aromacie po sugestiach wcześniej próbujących. ;) piłbym. Mega przyjemne i pijalne.

Zwanze in two countries this year. And finally acquired the taste for this year's unique offering. Once your palate accepts the seaweed, it's sooooooo good.

生啤版本,闻着浓浓山楂味,喝到口中有些生蚝的鲜味。很好奇如果不提前通知大家今年的主题,我能不能尝出它的味道与海洋有关联。

Zwanze 24 - really complex and at the end good balanced. Not a fan of seaweed but it works here.

Had to get a couple Cantillon tries on while here while it’s on the menu. Wow what a complex beer. Very acidic and salty. Sort of wrecks the palate but has a nice citrusy and clean finish.

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

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.

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 😁
