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.

750ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, dark golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Aroma is dominated by elderflower notes, more or less typical Lambic basis. Taste is dry, tart, slightly tangy, predomination of elderflower again, laying on a basis of vinegar, soup cube, lovage, grape juice, a dry, woody touch as well.

2012 vintage bottle from In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst. Pours out golden with a ring of a head. Nose is full on elder flowers herbal notes spice funky dust and barrel. Taste is more of the rounded out elder floral notes plenty spice and a nice sour funk. I am typically not a big fan of this one but I guess 5 years on it to round out is the trick.

Bottle shared at Cantillon. Clear golden pour with a white head. Notes of basil, raw vegetables, lambic funk, citrus, elderflower cordial. A very interesting and refreshing lambic, quite different from all the other lambics I have tried.
