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.

12/IX/20 - 37.5cl bottle @ Cantillon brewery (Brussels), BB: n/a, gonna go out on a limb here, and assume this was the 2019 vintage (2020-891) Thanks to Erwin and ElManana+1 for sharing today’s beers.
Little cloudy deep purple beer, small creamy pinkish to brown red head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: funky, mildew, cellar, some blackberry jam, funky. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: spicy, cinnamon, acidic, nice acidity though, bitter touch, fruity, blackberry jam. Aftertaste: bit oxidized, fruity, jam, some cinnamon, something a little dirty, soft acidity, funky, some mold.

2019 375ml available at the brewery. Pours a deep purple with a thin off-white head that stays the length of the glass. Aroma is rum raisin, berry, funky, but not overbearing. This beer is soft. It's so light and has an incredibly smooth mouthfeel. Flavors ranging from sweet grass and grain to tart and tannic berry. Leaves the tongue dry and has a nice staying power in the finish. It's a privilege to drink this beer.

Bottle shared at Cantillon brewery museum. Pours deep red purple. Murky. Pinkish head. Aroma is pure funk, blueberry, oak, some white wine. Taste is a nice mellow barnyard funk, sharp blueberry, dry oak, white wine finish. Top drawer stuff.
