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!

Salade d'algues liquide. Bizarre mais quand même Cantillon!

Il en restait à J+1 ! Plus prometteuse au nez qu’en bouche, un peu survendue et les avis semblent converger.

Love the creativity but this was a low mark in a day of amazing beers. Taste was better than the nose.

Jak to mówią, ostatni będą pierwszymi. Dziwna rzecz. Bo faktycznie aromat jak sok marchewkowy i guma balonowa z jakąś piwniczną nutą. W smaku jakby mineralne, nawet lekko goryczkowe, średnio kwaśne. Nietuzinkowe, ale też nie wybitne

LCI probably my last favourite cantillon to date, too briney, iodine flavour a slightly medicinal. Got better as it warmed up, a week balanced beer but not my cup of tea

Zwanze 2024 ... Its okish (not bad at all), earthy, salty, pickle brine, funky. Got better as it warmed up.

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

Interesting beer. There’s a lot going on - some peach and apricot notes, with a mild, briney salinity. The acidity builds as you go, and ends up being quite strong. Unusual and fun.

黃色、澄清度低、無酒帽。香氣呈現微妙但飽滿的果實、海苔醬、蘋果、海風與隱晦的鮮味與發酵野性。入口酒體輕盈、酸韻婉約且帶少量鹹味。風味主軸為隨溫度上升而增強的海藻與適切的gueuze基底、果感充足但酸韻比預期低、少量乳酸後帶低度汗水。穀物與酒花可忽略,收尾乾,尾韻仍帶紮實的海藻輪廓,尾韻基酒會再帶出少許橄欖

미역처럼 미끄러운 질감. 복숭아 느낌이 은은하게 난다. 드래프트 람빅답게 묽은 느낌도 강하다. 마신 후에도 뭔가 입 안이 꽉 차는 여운이 난다. 해조류 느낌이 강하다. 크게 한방 터뜨리면 좋을텐데 그런 느낌은 잘 안 나서 아쉽다. 복숭아 등 과일 맛이 더 쎄게 치고 들어왔으면 좋았을 것 같다. 막판에 신 맛이 조금 더 치고 올라오는 느낌이다.

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.

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