Fruity framboise. Tart but with a nice sweetness

Ken Neal

Very dry, tart and vinous. Taster on the house. Thanks!

Ken Neal

Fruit forward for the this sour. Lovely berry taste with that great lambic tartness

Ken Neal

Very different. Slight sweetness at first but then a sort of cheesy and iodine like aftertaste. Actually, very good. I really enjoyed it.

Zwanze Day 2024, beer #1: Classic, beautiful, sour heaven

Ric Boyer

Zwanze Day 2024, beer #3: The actual Zwanze beer, and very much stuck to the brief. Bizarre and utterly bonkers, this tasted of the sea. Elevated with gouda and celery salt!

Ric Boyer

Zwanze Day 2024, beer #4: Now we are onto the good stuff - herbal, fruity and sour

Ric Boyer

Zwanze Day 2024, beer #5: Finished on the best 2 this is vinous and packed with deep red wine flavour. A top night out once again!

Ric Boyer

Zwanze Day 2024, beer #2: This was probs a bit too funky for me.

Duane Cordner

Amazing

Do I grimace or applaud, with the cheese I applauded

Duane Cordner

Great, complex , rustic earthy, but rich red wine

Vinous and sophisticated, Cantillon beer 4 on Zwanze day

Mark Armstrong

Well this one divided opinion! Sea lettuce infused lambic is very strange tasting, not so much saline but funky fermented apples, it’s hard to describe, you’ll just have to seek it out

Maybe not the best beer for a sunny beer garden, but it was a comprehensive tour of flavour town so you can’t argue 🤙

Andrew Whyte

Maybe my fave Cantillon, it’s between this or Magic Lambic, fucking banger

Lovely tart and fruity lambic, not too sour or vinous, can get the honeysuckle and blueberry. Easy drinking and refreshing with a little wildness at the end.

Keg. Immense lambic. Certainly gets your saliva glands flowing (TMI?). Lush fruity sour ale.

Very fruity, mixing the sharp yeast with the smooth adjuncts

Ric Boyer

Tastes exactly what it states. Classic gueuze!

The revelation of the Cantillon range tonight, fresh hops lend a herbal edge to the beer that enhances the funk. Sublime stuff

Mark Armstrong

Raspberries, blueberries, sour and funky but softened with the addition of creamy vanilla. Lovely stuff

Mark Armstrong

A superb selection of Cantillon classics to limber the palate up before Zwanze 2022 is served. Starting with Classic 5.5%. This is lovely, fresh and herbal, funky and lip smacking.

Nathan

Wow. That pepper works wonders.

Siobhan Carroll

Beautifully peppery and sour. Fantastic to be at the first pouring
