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.

Tastes like comme black pepper smells. Pepper is strong, which is nice as some lambics can be too subtle

華やかな香り。　ライム的なニュアンスを強く感じる。　青い柑橘、カボス的な感じも。スパイシー。ペパーの辛味も後に残る。ドライ。　ペパーとランビックが上手くマッチングしてバランスも良い。分かりやすい個性だけど美味しい。

Lemon on the front. Harsh pepper on the back. Polarizing for sure. I like it more than most of the group.

Nez: poivre, un cote herbe de Provence; bouche: attaque etonnament fruite et un peu sucré puis rapidement le poivre ce fait sentir en laissant s'échapper un cote herbe de Provence. Final sur le poivre un cote fruité lambic/cidre boisé sec. Top

This was a great funky brew! It has a really enjoyable full body that’s got a nice mild heft to it and a well balanced and deep mellow musty herbal flavor with spot on notes of earth pepper and a nice hint of grapefruit to it.

Aroma of freshly ground black pepper, aged tangerine, a hint of horse barn seeping through, and some Pepsi. Drinks more like fruit juice than a lambic, with a lovely acidity that’s perfect for a hot day like today

Lots going on here. Black pepper works well. I got a lot of floral flavour. Not sure if that’s the black pepper, something else or just me. Very nice lambic with a twist

Le nez, wow! Gros poivre. Pineau d’Aunis x1000. Ça semble prometteur. En bouche c’est moins un coup de ❤️ je tombe sur du végétal un peu poivron parfois mais le poivre est là. Les gorgées que j’ai bu dans le thermos que j’ai ramené étaient + équilibrées

Bien poivre au nez en bouche c'est un peu mitigé on reconnaît le poivre avec un côté très vert et l'ensemble fait un peu savonneux etrange, belle longueur funk rond et discret mérite de vieillir un peu peut être
