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!

Really interesting, salty flavour that stayed at the back of my mouth - not my favourite cantillon but happy I tried it

Sehr spannend. Undefinierbarer Geruch, irgendwie chemisch (Pflaster?). Im Geschmack ganz leicht salzig. Mit Algen(?), Muscheln (?)

Insane! Sea water salinity, kale (ish) bitterness, mellows to more fruity but retains a tang with that cantillon sharpness to boot. On the nose it’s really pungent in a similar way to truffle and keeps pulling you back in.

Zwanze 24 at Redlight. The beer was briney AF and unlike anything I’d ever tasted. Paired well with the freshly shucked oysters🔥

Cantinollación. Maki sushi pero en cerveza. Y en vez de maguro, lúpulo. Ha mejorado en una semana. No le hace falta wasabi. Yodo contenido. Menos salina. Menos caldo de aceituna. Más equilibrada. ¿Valoramos la cerveza o el momento y sensaciones?

Happy bel8ed Zwanze. Je comprends qu’elle n’a pas été très apprécié des autres. Pour ma part c’était bien, petit côté sucré/salé qui ne me déplait pas. Tcheers.

Copenhague. On arrête au Himmeriget voir ce qu’il y a. C’est quoi les chances de tomber sur Mike le Queb (qui est maintenant proprio) et il reste encore de la Zwanze. Je l’ai encore mieux aimé parce que l’acidité était + présente que la 1ere fois.

lci 海的味道我知道! 就是纯纯的海边的味道,喝进去很简单的柠檬酸,剩下就是咸感。没那个那么邪门变态,但不吃海鲜的我还是算了吧😃

Proiezione verso l'oceano atlantico, dove la predominante acida lascia spazio a sentori marini con finale leggermente amarognolo. Ovviamente lontano dal mondo Cantillon classico. Grazie per la condivisione alla miss Colorado🇺🇲

Had to get a third of this at an extortionate price. The beer is fantastic, almost a cider edge with clear apples balancing the lambic funk. Beer is ace, bar is ace, glassware is horrific for this style. Cheers

Loman alku ja Zwanze 2024. Päivähän oli jo 20.4, mutta vielä oli tarjolla. Hyvin erilainen ja persoonallinen Cantillon, mutta valitettavasti jää valtaosasta panimon tuotantoa. Mutta on silti noin yleisellä tasolla erittäin hyvä

Cantillon on tap × 10! This one with sea lettuce is very interesting. Don't know how to describe this. A bit like lake water with a tart finish. Can't bieve this was submerged in the sea

Weird and class, different and challenging but tasty like if King Crimson was a beer. You can tell it's Cantillon but the iodine seaweed Brine taste is quite unusual and I like it. I had to swallow radioactive iodine one time then be quarantined at home.

Bottle is significantly better than the keg. Still quite vegetal and sea-ish

Weirdly I like it! It’s a love/ hate beer- big nose, quite pungent. But it grows on you, seaweed literally! Salty.

Juicy grapey fruit salad aroma. Intensely raw tropical, oaky and mildly saline. Medium tart and body, light sweet. Tangy pineapple skin and tannic floral finish. Good balance and drinkability. Very pleasant.

Thanks Jean! Mye sjøaroma, men smaksmessig mye mer balansert. Oliven, nori, saltvann, syrlig. Spennende, og noe helt annet enn i februar.

Happy Zwanze Day! Kelpy, salty and I don’t know, iodine hitting you in the nose and all the way down. It’s a meal of beer, although the flavour is a lot lighter on the mouth than the aroma would suggest.
