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.

Fairly hazy golden orange with a small off white head. Aroma of elderflower, green (the colour) and soft funk. Flavour is moderate sour. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle shared with Maakun at Cantillon, vintage 2019. If I could pick only one beer in the world, it would be Mamouche cause it already picked me when I tried it the first time. Slightly unclear golden with thin white head. Sweet grains, dense floral notes, nectar, pollen, herbal plant-sap notes, raw rhubarb, basil, elderberries and elderflower. Fruity, floral, cheesy, funky, juicy and herbal. Moderate sweet and quite strong sour. Some sugary edge in there and the body is leaning to over medium with some slightly gelly feel to it. Soft carbonation. Very nice to be back again! Simple fierce and natural awesome drink.

Bottle at the source, so much elderflower! Also seems a little tick in the mouthfeel. Otherwise classic Mamouche, I love it.

Flaska från Cantillon, 2019. Relativt klar ljusguldig med vit krona. Pigg och fräsch med rejäla flädertoner på ytan. Fyllig med fin sötma från flädern som gifter sig med fräsch syrlighet. Mjuk och fin kropp, nästan oljig. Flädern blir stundom nästan lite skarp, men håller sig snyggt sådär precis på gränsen. Märks att det är en färsk flaska. Mycket gott.

Eelmine aasta oli seeder/maltsasus paremini tasakaalus. See aasta tundub agressiivsem... Muidu hea ikka.
