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.

Bottle 750ml. Thanks martjoobolu! Hazy yellow colour. Aroma is funky with some herbal notes. Medium-bodied. Very mellow and fresh. Funkyness, evident herbal elderflower in the flavour. Almost refreshing.

Pale golden fading into light orange, a bit of haziness. About one finger of white head, quickly dissipating but still leaving a bit of lacing. Aroma is on the softer side of lambic, sourness is mainly lactic and slightly citric, with funky notes (most notably leather) in check. Then, of course, strong flowery notes. Very nice. Taste follows the aroma closely, with the typical sweet-sour lambic mix. Overall averagely sour per style. Finish has a slight earthy note that feels a bit off the path, not a mayor issue however. Light to medium bodied with low to medium carbonation resulting in a smooth, easy mouthfeel. Perhaps not the richest lambic out there, but surely a balanced, soft and overall very nice one.
