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 was pretty good when it was cold, but it tasted like bananas when it warmed up

香りはトマト?青っぽい植物。飲むと一気に海苔だなあ。ちょっと塩味。もうトマト感はわからない。ちょっと柑橘。あまり酸味は強くないが、しっかり柑橘はあるな。面白いバランス。

カンティヨンを色々5杯飲んで戻った。海苔だねえ。ちょっと柑橘強めに感じるようになったかな。口か樽位置か?意識したせいかトマト香というよりは海苔な香りの方を最初から感じるな。冷静に飲むとこの塩味とランビックというのは悪くない組合せな気がする。ある意味スポドリに通じる組合せなのか、と。そういう意味では海苔というか味噌汁を飲まない海外なら受ける可能性があるのかも。

An unpleasant sweaty old sea dog nose but an intriguing salted fruity body.

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!

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.

Eh... Sweet fruit (not sure which one) on the nose. Whatever taste, doesn't back up the fruit nor does it really give any algae or salty notes. Need to retry in a bottle. Don't trust the keg.

Smell: weird and a tas offsetting. Taste is herby and ends in some earthiness. Overall a fishy but decent executed experiment

A lot of sea in the nose. Otherwise there isn’t much that sets this version apart. I had the feeling it was softer than what cantillon usually serves - for me that’s not a bad thing - but I still don’t really understand the Cantillon hype.

Smells bizarre, tastes unusual, salty, briney, like a seaside fruit cocktail, 🤷🏻‍♂️

Heel uitgesproken in de neus. Niet men ding. Komt hard binnen. Na wat wennen durven proeven. De zee, ziltig, zeewier. Beter qua smaak dan in de neus maar niet men favoriete zwanze

I can see the controversy, but I actually enjoyed this - and definitely growing on me as I have more. Metallic, iodine, not quite salty but... earthy, maybe?

It was interesting. Smell was strong, but the flavor was well balanced between lambic and abalone. Glad I got to try. Thanks for having Zwanze Day at Pour Company!

W aromacie chyba rozumiem, o co chodzi z tym kubusiem, ale dla mnie taki nektar multiwitamina, w smaku się dzieje niewiele, dzikości trochę, kwaśności trochę, taki lambiczek bardziej na słodko
