Too bad the beer isn't
It's not that bad, just a weird geuze basically.
In a couple years I guess it'll be like actually good though.
Anecdote: I asked Jean Pierre what he thought of this zwanze. Respons was he just drinks geuze and lambic, Jean tries to get him to try other stuff but he's like nah I'll have a geuze. He didn't even know what this year's recipe/ingredient was.
Love that man
Agreed. A gross-smelling gueuze. I liked it overall. Didn't love it.

I liked it and have very foul farts after drinking lambic from 11am til nearly dinner
Unequivocally the worst lambic I have ever had.

Vs enamel stripping Bofkont peach whatever it was, bad cork 06 Doesjel or Girardin bierpallieters bottles not fit for human consumption… I’m calling your hyperbole
Quite strange but decent. All green banana/plantain on the nose for me and taste was all that plus umami funk in a not great way. Not the worst lambic for me (looking at you Oudbeitje or some recent 3F or Tilquin atrocities) but wish it was more of a pleasant surprise. Nice to have it and the event regardless.
To each their own.

Enjoyed Zwanze and casually opened this last night. Tasting great.
My dumb take: it’s good, actually, that Zwanze was weird-bad instead of “nice” or “fine”.
All I ever want from Zwanze is something interesting to talk about with everybody else at the event, and if I’m only getting a few ounces ever then maybe it’s better to get something I wouldn’t ever need more of.

2019 tasting great. Brought to Zwanze and got mobbed. Zwanze the lambic was strange but interesting, had a lot of similarities to hogo rhum agricole, imho.

My last older Fou. Something is off. I can't place it but it has the aroma of two corks up my nose. Very little fruit.
The cognac Tilquin went first and perhaps trained my palate in a bad way for the Fou. I don't know. Not what I expected from a Loon but these things happen.
Not a drain pour by any means but disappointing nonetheless. I shall persevere.
Happy Sunday!

This bottle looks like a not-so-casual disaster. Survived a basement flood a few years back, so I thought it would be hot garbage, in part due to the finicky 375 format and bullshit short corks. Nope, this is stellar. Dusty and basement must to the max...classic Armand-era funk reminiscent of my Belgian basement...brings me right back. Perfect carb and grapefruit pith brightness and bitterness. Just enough oxidation to add sherry-like complexity. Magic.
