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.

0,75l bottle at home. Vintage 2018. Bottled 25. May 2018 Yellow hazy color, small white head. Smells funky, elder flower, green herbal, chlorophyl, tad herbal. very nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes green herbal, peppery, grassy, earthy, bit salty, chlorophyl, some peaches. Finishes lightly dry and light to medium sour with notes of herbs, pepper and chlorophyl notes. good stuff, rather herbal and peppery, not much elder flowers left. overall very good one still.

Vintage 2013. From 04.11.2013 in my cellar (Italian wooden case almost ten Years) 750 ml bottle from beer planet. zastanawiałem się czy nie poszaleć i dać maksymalna 5. Bo od paru lat żadne piwo nie otrzymało takiej oceny, to mogłem zrobić wyjątek bo do niczego nie można się przyczepić. Kwaśno treściwie, jasminowo i agrestowa, miękkie owoce, bardzo smacznie złocista jaskrawa barwa z pianką opadająca średnio szybko. Wytrawne o winnym takim rieslingowym wykończeniu z chmielowa ziołowa nuta w tle. Doskonale, niesamowite, niemal wybitne i niemal najwyższa moja ocena.

Bottle, 750 ml at the brewery. Cloudy golden with medium white head. Beautiful black pepper and eldeflower, smooth with pleasant tartness. Almost juicy. Loved the pepper twist.
