Cantillon Blåbær Lambik a lambic with bilberries added and produced for Ølbutikken in Copehagen, Denmark. It is produced in very limited quantities and is generally released sometime during the summer. It is released in both 37,5cl and 75cl bottles and is 5% ABV.
Blåbær Lambik was first released in 2005 and has been released every year since then except 2006, and 2008. Though the word blåbær translates in English to blueberry, the fruit used in this lambic is the European bilberry which is very similar to the American blueberry. The fruiting process for this lambic consists of putting fresh bilberries directly into the barrel with the lambic.

May 15, 2023: poured from 375mL bottle (2022 vintage). Same rating, slightly less funk, but slightly more berry. May 11, 2023 (8/4/9/4/17=4.2): Poured from 750mL bottle (courtesy of beerplace; vintage 2018). Purple-ish red with small pink-ish white head. Nice gentle blueberry with soft underlying funk. Well balanced, very enjoyable.

Jammy blueberry notes, some funky notes and farmyardy earthy yeastiness.

Thanks to Joey for bringing this to the LCBS 10. The pour was ruby red with barnyard aromas. This beer was smooth and not overly sour with tart blueberries and sour cherries dominating the scene. A great beer.....
2009 batch II, 750ml re-rate courtesy of destructo. Even better than I remembered it......
re-rate Batch 7, 750 ml shared at Mikkelller’s Bar in Copenhagen. So smooth.
