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!

Yeah, it was a bit of a struggle but they’ve done what they wanted to do… and you can’t hate a duck for quacking!

I can see the controversy, but I actually enjoyed this - and definitely growing on me as I have more. Metallic, iodine, not quite salty but... earthy, maybe?

It was interesting. Smell was strong, but the flavor was well balanced between lambic and abalone. Glad I got to try. Thanks for having Zwanze Day at Pour Company!

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

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

I don’t mind it. Lots of brine. Tastes like a dirty martini without the gin or vodka.

Hanasta. Tosi mielenkiintoinen merilevällä ryyditetty lambic. Suolainen karvas maku. Eroaa selvästi perinteisistä lambiceista. Siiderimäinen tuoksu.

About to depart to London, but just have enough time for a quick taste of this year’s Zwanze. Really smells like oysters, the flavour more towards lemon, and bit of apple juice in terms of mouthfeel. Fun!

Nie chcę być inaczej… banan. Gdy pije się na spokojnie kwasowość jest wyraźniejsza, cytrusy, sól morska, może jest nieco tego umami z wodorostów. Posmak ostrygi. No ale dominuje banan, multiwitamina.

Probably the most insane nose of any beer I've had. Taste is a lot milder thankfully. Edit: as it warmed, became intense. Tons of funk, but not in the good way. Glad I tried, not my jam.

Draft @ La Capsule, Arras. Hazy golden colour, white foam. Funky nose with salty notes, seaweed, some fruitiness, citrussy and lemony. Strange.

Heel uitgesproken in de neus. Niet men ding. Komt hard binnen. Na wat wennen durven proeven. De zee, ziltig, zeewier. Beter qua smaak dan in de neus maar niet men favoriete zwanze
