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!

Stoked to score one of the last pours. I love super briney flavours in food, so perhaps unsurprisingly I’m not hating this. Full on brine for sure, but surprised how much the apricot comes through.

Beach visits frolicking amongst the sand and kelp, ocean mist and cold air. Delivers on its intention I think.

Subtle Korea & Japan's seaweed crack aroma. Light bodied & oily flavor with Cantillon funk. Truly authentic eastern essence. Underestimated than global rating.

Lots of iodine and minerality. Oysters on a salad bowl. Lemony. Tropical fruits. Weird but enjoyable.

LCI not that what I expected. Seaweed in the nose, dominant fruity notes, some umami.

Soy el raro, me gusta. El olor es salino con un toque de lima. Me huele agria, como las llaves de golosina. En boca, si tiene un toque salino, con un leve amargor, que se multiplica al final del paladar

Briny, salty, not too strong. Reminded me of Spanish olive juice. Not bad

Initial aroma was repellent. They said iodine and yet I didn't expect it this high in the mix. Yet through immersion I'm increasingly digging it. There's an awful lot of the sea in here - but hey, we were warned. Lemony citrus hints; low carb. Salty.

大海的味道,比意大利那个更能体现出咸味儿 喝着有点垮,柠檬酸,带了点草药 回温以后就是海鲜市场内味儿,能明白吧(后仰)

Aromat bardzo owocowy. W smaku to już zupełnie inne piwo 😉 Delikatnie dzikie i kwaśne, mineralne, winne, lekko słone, wyraźną goryczką. Nietypowo lambik, ale chyba o to chodziło. Bardzo dobre, ale nie sztos 😉

Ottima come sempre la base cantillon. Naso non pulito con molto minerale. In bocca punta di amarognolo con un sapido che estende molto sul finale rimanendo lungo sul palato e retrolfattivo. Qualcosa che ovviamente ricorda le hoyster stout...

Tough one to rate, like nothing I’ve ever had. Very seaweedy, some olive, not too briney. I appreciated it but probably not something I would seek out

Big pour in Rome at Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fa. Strange funky nose, some saltiness in there as well. Taste has some salt as well combined with geuze sourness and an umami funk. Pleasant beer, unbalanced, but opens up really well over the course of an hour.

Nez: algue, salin, crackers au algue; bouche: attaque salé algue puis une amertume qui amène renforcé le goût de l'algue. Final salin cereal algue. Très atypique
