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!

Wow. Very ocean-y. Loads of salinity & minerality. Oddly sweeter than you'd expect.

Quite MOR this year - despite the tiny sushi roll at BMT not really that much salinity?

Seaweed smell but couldn’t taste much. A balanced gueze with mineral texture. Light and gentle.

Well this one divided opinion! Sea lettuce infused lambic is very strange tasting, not so much saline but funky fermented apples, it’s hard to describe, you’ll just have to seek it out

Vin

nose is a little off putting. lactic mustard, weird funk. Not enough seaweed or oceanic minerality. Some stone fruit, but also a fair bit of VA. We weren’t into this for the most part

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.

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!

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

LC. Super interesting, but 5oz was fine. Huge brine and seaweed. Odd sweetness to it.

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

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