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!

Una latita de mar lámbica. Aroma a algas y mejillones, que continua en boca. Salina, mineral, puntito dulce muy ligero. También ligeramente especiada. Limón, también algo como umami a soja. Nada clásica, muy diferente. Acidez nada punzante, redondeada.

There might be some decent note from the seaweed, but this beer is totally WRONG. Worst zwanze for me, hands down. The sea note has taken over, and not a clean sea, like the ones in Campania full of illegal dumping with mussels growing everywhere...

Smells like V8 ocean juice, tastes like a higher minerality briney geuze. I could get down with this on a special occasion frequency

Zwanze Day 2024, beer #3: The actual Zwanze beer, and very much stuck to the brief. Bizarre and utterly bonkers, this tasted of the sea. Elevated with gouda and celery salt!

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 😉

Rather special taste, much fruitier than I expected with some lemon and a rather big dust of peach in nose. Clear prescence of the maritime ingredient with umami and light saltyness.

Love the smell of algae. Maybe this lambic would be a good pair with sushi?!

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

Carlos pagame la gasolina. Hay que tenerlos muy bien puestos para hacer algo asi. OK, lleva a alga y sabe a algas pero esto no es ético. Huele y sabe a mar. Es pescado en salmuera. Truco: si te tapas la nariz esta buena. PD: Media hora después repite

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.
