Commercial Description:
A blueberry lambic brewed with Danish blueberries exclusively for Ølbutikken, Copenhagen, Denmark.

There are two different vintages available that, because of the length of time the berries soaked in the beer, have turned out rather differently:

2005: The berries soaked in the beer too long leaving an almost vinegarish lambic with the well-known Cantillon tartness. The color is hazy orange. Will be sold in extremely limited quantity.

2007: A more fruity and not as tart lambic as the 2005 vintage. Beautiful deep red colored.

Bottle from MReusch huge thanks for this brew. Very moist cork, and mild rust on the cap. Foggy light purple color, with a thin cream violet color. Aroma is light blueberry, horseblanket, sour. Taste is a tart blueberry with horseblanket, sour with lemon. Interesting brew

2007 Vintage, 750mL bottle. Big thanks to my cousin, ggaughan for this treat. Pours reddish purple, capped with a moderate sized light pink head. Nicely acidic aroma; tart with some blueberries and white pepper in the background. Flavor is tart but not over the top. Tartness takes the forefront, with wood, blueberries, brett, citrus, white pepper, and a little herbal character. Berries play a complimentary role, rather than being the star. Long, mildly tart finish. Really nice beer, I’m glad I got the opportunity to try this. Thanks, Greg.

Deep, dark red with a small grey’ish head. Lovely, complex fruity and funky aroma. Vinous yet refreshing. Medium, slick body. Very full of taste. Starts sweet and fruity, only slightly sour. The finish has allot of blueberries. This beer has allot of dimensions, the aftertaste is dry with allot of genuine fruit taste. Generous, very tasty beer.

2007 bottle, 75 cl, from Ølbutikken. Deep purple red colour with a small pinkish head that gradually disappeared. Complex fruity and funky aromas, fruit evolves from pure blueberries to more cherry character after a while, but the lemony Cantillon lambik nose is still strongly present. Strong impact by sharp lemony flavours at first, followed by more mellow blueberries, to be ended on a long, woody, acidic dry note. Truly wonderful.

Cantillon Blåbær Lambic - 3. edition. Bottle 75 cl. A rather red-cheeked gentleman..Barbarossa. Pours a red moisty deep red with a fine and neat white head. The nose is without swing but is rather light with sweet blueberries. The taste is mild and not very sour (as Cantillons normally is) Its round and mild with fine citrusnotes together with liquorice-root, wood, smoke and freshpicked berries - Very complex. Nice poky palate. #123 Thx Jeppe
