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!

感谢韩国朋友留给我半瓶让我有机会对比不同瓶子间的不同。结论:一模一样(对于这样一瓶新酒来说是理所当然的结果)。相比Zwanze Day喝到的生啤版,这款无论在闻香还是品尝上都更淡。不再有山楂味,变成了淡淡的海洋咸味。尝起来从牡蛎的感觉变成了海藻。素食主义者会更喜欢这一版…

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。

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.

Very different. Slight sweetness at first but then a sort of cheesy and iodine like aftertaste. Actually, very good. I really enjoyed it.

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.

Wow! Smooth and unlike anything I’ve ever had. As described. Dank a little fruity with lemon sourness with a defined seaweed brine. Limited quantity with this guest beer on Tap: happy to have dropped into Mother Tree this evening to enjoy these Lambics.

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

#Zwanze 2024# The highlight of The Day! Aroma: salty, briny, lemony, seaweed, fruity I really love its skeleton, crisp acidity and intensive body. This is definitely a top notch lambic pairing with seafood! Cheers to Cantillon lovers around the world🥂!

Some people hated the nose, others didn’t like the palate. I thought both were pretty great and evolved nicely through multiple sips. Definitely a one of a kind beer — fruity, briny, beautifully bizarre.

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

Super unique brew, crazy nose. Again I would love to try this with a few years on it. Not very funky, more fruity. Brine notes come out as it warms

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.

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

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...
