Description

Cantillon Mamouche is an elderflower lambic brewed annually by Cantillon. It has been available seasonally since 2010, is 5% ABV, and bottled in 750 mL bottles. The elderflowers are added with lambic into a stainless steel tank for a maceration period and transferred to a stainless steel bottling tank until ready for bottling.

History / Other Notes

In 2009, Cantillon posted the following on Facebook:

Last season, we have made a Lambic in which elder flowers underwent a cold maceration. This Zwanze 2009 was really different from a Lambic made with fruits. This is why I have decided to make it again this year. As I couldn’t call it Zwanze again, however, I had to find an other name. It will be “Mamouche” in honour of our mother, Claude Cantillon. As a matter of fact, this is the name which is given to her by her grand-children. By the way, these grand-children call our father, Jean-Pierre Van Roy “Lou Pepe", after the beers of the same name.

Mamouche received label approval in the U.S. on January 3, 2011.
