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 in garden, 2nd August 15. Pours clear, aroma is sweet and sour, floral perfume. Taste is delicious floral notes, not overly sour, but still enough to keep it interesting. Really great Cantillon and very different from the others.

(750ml 2014 bottle @ Moeder Lambic Fontainas, July 27 2015) Pours a hazy pale gold with a small lingering white head and lace. Aroma has elderflower, cut grass, lemon rind, pickle, yellow plum, barnyard, medicinal herbs, some wood. Flavour is quite delicate and elegant. Lots of cut grass, flowers, very fresh. Some of that fresh pickle character, soft lactic sourness. Finish has a bunch of flowers and fresh vegetation. Light to medium body, soft effervescent carb. The floral characters make this delicate and very pleasant, fresh, the much-maligned pickle is no issue in my opinion. A different fruit lambic but a really enjoyable sipper.

Shared bottle. Hazy golden with big white head that leaves a nice ring. Wood, hay, sour grains, dough, light herbal, flowery, grapes, very funky. Taste is light sweet with above medium sourness and a light woody bitter finish. Oh yeah, this is really good. The elderflowers are not too dominant at all and work really well here.

Bottled. Hazy orangeish golden colour, not too much head. Aroma is citrus, dry wood, tart berries and some farmyardy notes. Flavour is famryard, sour/tart wood and some berries along with some yeast and mild parfumed soap (though not all too sweet such).
