Two-year-old Lambic in which elderberry flowers have been soaked.
The character of the elderberry flowers lends this beer a very pronounced, floral taste that is nevertheless very refreshing.
Since 2008, once a year Cantillon Brewery has produced Zwanze, a special-edition beer that is completely different each time around, with Mamouche originally appearing as Zwanze 2009. This beer is completely different from anything else produced by Cantillon, and we decided to continue producing it on a regular basis. Mamouche is what the seven grandsons of the Van Roy-Cantillon family call their grandmother, Claude Cantillon. As such it is the counterpart of the Lou Pepe beers.

A lightly hazed golden lambic with a very thin white. In aroma, nice sweet fruity malt with light Brett horseblanket, light pepper and flowers, very nice. In mouth, a nice tart mix of lactic notes, light cereals, Epsom salts, horseblanket, very nice. On tap at Clandestin.

Wilde Bottleshare 16 juli 2025. Typisch Cantillon bier, geur is zurig, houtig, tannines, misschien (nog) een vleugje vlierbloesem. Smaak is zuur en iets bitterig.
