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.

Dominant (zwarte) peperaroma. Citrus/pompelmoes, zeste. Floraal (fruitige groene/roze peper). Aroma blijft lang hangen. Goede balans.

Soft pepper; pink pepper? Smooth and fruity. Soft sour aftertaste, gentle peppery down the throat. Awesome.

What a surprise to get a taster from this year's zwanze that I missed out on! Hope to get a chance to try a bottle at some point!

Missed checkin from Zwanze Day in Sep at DeCicco's. Definitely cracked pepper. It was a shock and I didn't like the first sip, but as I continued drinking, it grew on me.

I don't usually comment on the beers I drink. But this is yet another remarkable one. It has a pepper scent and it also tastes a bit like it. It leaves the flavour behind in your lips. 100% if you're looking for a creative, different experience.

Sansho, evergreen trees, herbaceous AF. Citrusy like lemongrass on palette but also lots of pepper and umami. There’s a lot going on here and very exciting for my palette.
