Zwanze 2022 - Poivre de Gorilles

Lambic - Other

This year’s Zwanze is a two-year-old Lambic blend with black pepper. For this year’s beer, we worked with Sandrine from Misao: La Maison des Poivres here in Brussels. Sandrine had us try various types of Congolese pepper, and we eventually decided on one called poivre de Gorilles. This pepper grows wild in the forests of the Republic of the Congo. Aromatic, but not too spicy, it blends beautifully with the refreshing acidity of our Lambic. The result is a beer that will pair marvelously with meat or fish. The name poivre de Gorilles comes from the area where it grows, in Likouala Forest, located in the northeastern region of the Republic of the Congo. This forest is home to a significant population of Lowland gorillas – a species in danger of extinction. That’s why we’ll be donating a portion of the profits from the event to Gorilla (https://www.gorilla.fr/), an organization which works to protect these Great Apes.

Strong herbal pepper notes but without any zing or bite. Really nice lambic base. Will be interesting to see how this develops

Like this one, it’s like a peppery geuze but nice balanced.

Went to Bruxelles last week, but forgot to check in the most. So here is a bunch of LCI’s. This one was really experimental, peppery, sharp - and at the same time softly in the aftertaste -

Smells powerfully peppery like good marinated meat or pastrami. Top quality black pepper. Salty and even a bit balsamic at nose. What is surprising is that same pepper note is soft on palate. Like a lot the acidity which is balanced. Softly carbonated.

2-year lambic, minimal carbonation, cloudy amber color, sour pepper nose, first taste is strong pepper which mellows as palate calibrates. A little sweetness shines through tartness. Pepper lingers.

Golden and hazy. Carb is low - 2 year (lower sugar) lambic with black pepper. Nose meets taste with great black pepper notes. Sour hint at the back. Delicious. Not a one-and-done beer.
