2015 750mL bottle drunk 9/20/17.
A beautiful robe of violet-magenta shows good clarity in the light, leaving the plentiful sediment behind. Pink-tinged white head shows modest retention for the style, eventually fading to ring.
The nose is just filled with beautifully expressive fruit, side-by-side with tart bacteria/yeast creating wonderful layers of complexity. Sniffable to perpetuity, it's both tart, juicy, tannic and even somewhat vinous, yet never "sweet" or "sugary". Nor is it too sour, achieving a good mix of both fruit and bacteria acid while lively Brett adds band aid, light lime and other soft funk and mineral. No alcohol or flaw. Very high strength of aroma.
Similar fruit flavors abound, tickling the tongue as plentiful Brett and lacto add a lightly puckering character and both fruit and barrel tannin soften the blow (though it's never terribly sour), mostly just very tart. The fruit is well-integrated again and the carbonation quite engaging, but it's markedly thin, seemingly over-attenuated and phenomenally bone dry, to the point of fault. It's pretty rare that under-malting and/or thin, washed out texture is a thing I get from Cantillon (or 3F for that matter) so this was even more disappointing. Just didn't have enough malt depth/suppleness. Obviously I'm not expecting it to be sweet, thick and richly malty, but it was noticeably less than the standard and caused a lot of astringency to build up on the finish. Assuming this is just a bottle or batch variation and still enthused to drink more Blabaer.

2014 vintage at Himmeriget, Copenhagen. Aroma is tart and sour red fruits, bretty funk, barnyard, subtle blueberries, some wood. Flavour is quite tart and medium to heavy sour. Body is medium. Complex yet easily drinkable, lots of nice funky barnyard notes besides the tart and sour berries. Maybe not the ultimate Cantillon, but quite lovely.
