Cantillon Zwanze 2013 Abbaye de Cureghem (Spontaneously fermented tripel with 10% lambic blend) (7.2% ABV): The beer of the day - tapped in 46 pubs around the world at the same precise moment, never to be released again - is clearly not a standard tripel. It bears resemblances, with aromas of lightly tart apple and some wet wood alongside some vinous grape qualities. Taste-wise there is less sour and more funk than present on the nose, if neither extremely, with hints of vine and rind. The body is a bit fuller than most lambics, while the carbonation was a touch lighter. I get the hybridity and love the attempt, but only liked the beer. My first Cantillon I didn't give an A+, if still a great experience! Grade: A-



More bitter than a normal gueze Rich and complex, with bitter finish. Tastes much more like a spontaneously fermented beer than an abbey beer
