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!

#ZwanzeDay24 Funky, green olive brine, Parmesan cheese, with hints of over stewed green apple. Challenging!

Vegetal, seaweed, iodine, olive, brine. Polarising and honestly unable to give it a rating.

“Challenging,” briny green olives, waterlogged grass, honey, a bit lighter than expected, a little bit of apricot, orange zest, a bit of cheddar, and lingering brine

Used ALL my senses on this beer. Smells like the sea.... especially when tipped all over you. Now to drinking.... nose of oysters ocean, green olives. Really confusing us at the table. Really after-taste of bad cocktail olive brine!

I think we sorted out the main flavours by settling on green olive. Super weird and interesting to try to figure out.

Sicilian olive. That's all I've got. It's a very confusing beer.

Nose is salty, briney like pickle juice, apple juice. Pretty mild geuze. Finishes with saltiness. Overall a nice drinker for a spring afternoon.

2024.04.20. Too much seaweed characters.. I repeat, too much…! The base was a quite moderate lambic with citrusy sourness and stone-fruit-like sweetness. But the flavors were not so impressive that the seaweed characters overtook the whole palate.

Pours gold with light haze and no head. Aromas of peach skins. leather, green konbu like seaweed, light tangy yogurt with a light acetic vinegary note. Peaches and leather with green swewaeed blending seamlessly in the background.

Not gonna lie, not the biggest fan of this year's Zwanze. The nose on this is super seaweed which really throws me off due to its briney umami and saline dominant profile. It does open up after a few sips, smooth mouthfeel, w apricot and mango stone fruit

Not my style. But they achieved what they wanted. Saltwater beer. Extreme salinity. Drinking the ocean
