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!

Smells like the ocean, tastes slightly apricot-pith, some bitterness. Very interesting. Glad we tracked it down.

Nez de coquillages 🐚 très marin, bouche plus ronde vineuse avec des pointes de gentiane amères mais salines sur le temps long. Originale 🇮🇳 et niablement !

Jamais trop goûté un truc comme ca, c'est déroutant mais c'est assez bon avec un côté umami, on y revient facilement.

Really interesting. Decent stone fruit in the nose - think leach and even more so, apricot. Body carries ut all nicely. Salinity is expected but not overwhelming until it warms. Then it drives it further. Semi-dry throughout.

Such an amazing Gueze. Honored to drink this, as Garden Path/Great Northern was the only establishment in the state of Washington that got this beer. The notes of sea lettuce/salt water were present in the nose, but more subtle in the tasting. Wonderful!
