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!

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

Oh it’s so briny! It’s like a pickle. I love pickles. Back again for more today.

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

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

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

Je m'attendais à pire mais ça reste pas mon truc, iodé, légèrement salin, étonnamment fruité. C'est rigolo mais à petite dose

This was totally not what I expected from an algae/seaweed beer. Instead of intense brine I got tons of tropical fruit mixed in with some herbal qualities. Papaya salad vibes, ultra creamy from tap and quite thick in comparison to normal geuze.

Probably one of the most unique beers ever. Having it here at the mothership. Tastes much like a funky weedy salty oyester. Banana, iodine, amyl acetate. Volatile aroma like a spirit. Bright golden, frothy with suspended particles.

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

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