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.

EB from last Saturday. A very good elderflower lambic but compared to the home blends it comes off as a hint dull at this age. Give it some time to develop that really cheesy vintage Mamouche character.

Bottled 28 may 2020. Unclear golden with no head. Sour grapes, herbal elderflower, nettles, deep dive into herbal juicism. This is the king of beers.

Bottle. Very flowery, lovely balance with the lambic. Classic mamouche.

750ml (thx, Jacob B.!) in McDonald Beach Park shared with Max and Jamey. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: Cantillon's funk with some flowery notes. Taste: along the same lines with lots of flowers, some apricot jam, and some weird herbal notes. Overall: far from the best ones from them, but it's not bad.

Still mostly a lambic, being woody, dry, fairly sour for a Belgian one. The elderflowers really add something, though, making it quite floral (duh), and maybe even a bit summery? Quite fun, very friendly. Hippielambic.

2019 vintage bottle from Holiday Market shared at Jimmy's farewell party. Pours a clearish honey gold with a full finger of white foam that dissipates. Big and bold elderberry aromas up front, grain, horseblanket and funk as it warms. On the palate more elderberry with notes of dried honey, lemon and apricot. Drying, balanced finish with some minerality present.

From bottle to tulip glass. Bottled May 28, 2020. Pours slightly hazed orange with off-white head. Aroma of meadow and dirt. Slight floral with perfume off in the distance. Flavor is more focused on wildflower. Slight fruity esters. High carbonation gives an effervescent body.
